Comments on: Nonetheless, there’s something I don’t like about the architecture of Evolution Data Server. http://pvanhoof.be/blog/index.php/2008/03/19/nonetheless-theres-something-i-dont-like-about-the-architecture-of-evolution-data-server From the mind of Philip Mon, 06 Sep 2010 15:08:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: pvanhoof http://pvanhoof.be/blog/index.php/2008/03/19/nonetheless-theres-something-i-dont-like-about-the-architecture-of-evolution-data-server#comment-581 pvanhoof Wed, 19 Mar 2008 18:58:05 +0000 http://pvanhoof.be/blog/index.php/2008/03/19/nonetheless-theres-something-i-dont-like-about-the-architecture-of-evolution-data-server#comment-581 I would indeed not care whether this would be made available by EDS, Akonadi, WhooNewThing. I would care about having to learn and target only one D-BUS API, though. Whoever makes this thing possible, should IMO consider the possibility that other people want to put your D-BUS facade in front for their product, too. IMHO we have plenty of overlapping technologies with different API sets already. No need to create yet another such situation.
