[Kde-hardware-devel] Fwd: kde-bluetooth part of solid?

[Cerneels Bart]

Rockman and I were planning to improve the kde-bluetooth framework itself.
I was thinking, there are more communication standards geared towards
Consumer Electronics that deserve a KDE GUI. UPnP for one, but I'm sure
there are many other you guys can think of. Would those still fall under
Solid, as separate programs/projects or could we join all those in a new,
"KDE4 naming styled ", project for Consumer Electronics communication
protocols.

See below for more.

I was thinking obex to and of course all of the above. But since OpenObex
supports multiple transport protocols (Bluetooth, IrDA, USB, probably TCP/IP
and serial  to), the obex implementation won't be bluetooth specific.
