[Kde-games-devel] Online Granatier, common real time online gaming libs?

[Eneko Nieto]

Hi, very attractive idea! I think it would be interesting to include
all the game management in the library (creating, searching and
joining games). We ideally could create a KDE games hub where you can
find players for any game implementing the library.

Eneko
