Today we had a RuDI BoF at aKademy.

http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/1398

I will summarize the results of the BoF here briefly.

+ A service oriented approach gained support from people like Matthias Ettrich 
and Lubos Lunak.

+ Matthias can imagine to help with the QRuDI implementation

+ It is considered to be a big plus for non KDE application which want to 
integrate in the KDE Desktop

+ RuDI is also attractive for GNOME and has potential to become a fdo standard

+ Cornelius raised the point that maybe allowing access to the configuration 
system of the desktop is interesting but he also raises potential efficiency 
concerns

+ It would be nice to provide RuDI initially for 3rd party KDE apps, Qt apps 
and Java applications

Yours,
