Sounds very cool! One thing to think about, though, is that DCOP inherently doesn't like working over a network. It only likes working locally (for security purposes). If you want this repository to remain remote, you might want to consider using XML-RPC. Basically, do the "reverse" of kxmlrpcd and turn DCOP calls to XML-RPC. -- Kurt Granroth | http://www.granroth.org KDE Developer/Evangelist | SuSE Labs Open Source Developer granroth@kde.org | granroth@suse.com KDE -- Conquer Your Desktop
