The new Telepathy implementation for the CLR is open for
business! There
is only an XSL-based code generator in there right now,
which generates
interfaces that do not quite compile yet.
As a change of policy, I will consider including convenience
code in
this branch of telepathy-sharp, for example code to support
Tubes using
native CLR Stream classes and managed D-Bus peer to peer
connections.
The generated interfaces are already looking quite elegant
and are, as
much as anything, a testament to the Telepathy team and, in
particular,
Simon's attention to detail when it comes to keeping the
spec XML format
well maintained. Your thoughts on API beautification are
welcome at this
point.
The goal here is to make telepathy-sharp the easiest way to
write
cross-platform collaboration clients as well as connection
managers.
Boilerplate code? Just say no!
The original hand-written telepathy-sharp implementations by
Adam Lofts
and INdT were used by the first voice-capable Telepathy
client for the
GNOME desktop and the first video-capable client for GNOME
respectively,
and I hope we can continue to maintain this tradition of
innovation.
Note that the development of some of this work was supported
by
Collabora Ltd. (while I was working there).
