Talk:D-Bus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] D-Bus is a specification, not a software package
Now that there is at least one full-featured implementation of the D-Bus specification other than libdbus which is used in several large projects, managed D-Bus, this page should be refactored to represent that fact that D-Bus is a specification which can be implemented by anyone.
[edit] History
Text copied from dbus -- D-BUS name confirmed by the official project page. I would have moved the page, but the redirect was already in place and because there was hardly any edit history it didn't seem worth getting an admin to delete it.. Just for sake of keeping the record, I've copied it here Motor 20:21, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)

[edit] Category
Does this article really belong in the X Windows System category? Jdufresne 01:05, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
- An X root window property can be used to find the session bus address. Apart from that, I don't see anything X related. I think should be in a "things that use X root window properties" list instead. 82.46.154.93 02:22, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- I expect the reasoning for it is likely to be something to do with the fact that it's a freedesktop.org hosted project, used extensively by KDE4 and GNOME (among others) so the author probably thought "What do those two have in common?" and dropped it here. I make no comments about whether that's valid logic or not: just trying to empathise. Alsuren 09:44, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
