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.
