Well if it eliminates one round trip for most application I guess it is worth adding, and we might add other tricks as storage and API simplifications on top of it. > - The VDP support probably needs kernel-level hacking as well, to avoid > being constrained to one of the supported frameworks, and create a > user-space driver for the device (using CUSE?) It could be considerate, but if that is a good idea to vdp it would also be for a2dp, there is also the problem that avdtp is currently implemented in bluetoothd so I wonder if we should start changing things or just implement vdp on top of the existing avdtp code. > I'd be happy to do testing and some integration work for both the VDP > and DUN works. > > I could also add: > - Port gnome-user-share to obexd, instead of obex-data-server (easy) > - Port osso-gwobex test suite and extend it (medium) > (Those 2 could be combined into one project) > - Printer (initial) setup integration in gnome-bluetooth (medium) I guess those are too gnome related for being in BlueZ, expect maybe gwobex, of course we could help/co/mentor projects under gnome organization. > - Extended hostname support (using xdg-hostname) (medium) > - Kernel driver and user-space changes for Sixaxis joypad (including > rumble).
