Hi Tony, Yes, I remember talking to you. I'll take a look through and see if I see any glaring problems. However, my major critique still stands. There are already a large number of communication channels available to Linux, with DBUS gatting the most attention at the moment. What niche is KBUS filling that DBUS and others misses? Secondarily, does KBUS implement a new API instead of extending an existing mechanism to meet your needs? I suspect you'll get a lot more traction if KBUS can make DBUS work better/faster/more efficiently. > I've just emailed the embedded linux mailing list with an initial > question about it, and attempted to CC you as > grant.likely@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, which appears to have bounced.

Yes. If you want review, then posting a URLs doesn't help. :-) Send it as an email so that I can just hit 'reply' and start typing. Post and then I'll comment. g. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
