I don't see a need for this at this point. We have DCOP for communication on 
the desktop and that works very well.

I can see a role for things like CCM in an enterprise application-server 
setting but given the number of middleware solutions in this area I don't 
think KDE should be tied to a single one exclusively. 

Maybe if you can explain how CCM, XMLRPC, SOAP, SOUP, Java, JavaBeans, SASH 
and .NET relate to each other and why it is important that CCM is integrated 
in the desktop environment? For what things should be it be used? Can you 
give me actual examples of its use?

Cheers,
Waldo
