This is an extra complication for someone unfamiliar with D-Bus: they need to understand that the example is dealing with D-Bus on two different levels, and where the boundary between them is. Desktop notifications are my usual example, although admittedly you need a lot of arguments to create one.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I'd also suggest renaming the 'interfaces' page to something like 'use cases'. Most of these specs define well known names & object paths, not only a D-Bus interface. 'Interfaces' as a top-level navigation option is also a bit confusing, because it could mean interfaces to use dbus (GUIs, CLIs...).<br></div><div><br></div><div>I think D-Bus could really do with a good 'what is this?' introduction, although I know it's really hard to keep it concise - all the 'introduction to D-Bus' type pages I've seen look a bit wall-of-text-ish. I've been meaning to have a go at writing my own introduction.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes,<br></div><div>Thomas<br></div><div><br></div><div>On Sat, 16 Oct 2021, at 10:04, Marc-André Lureau wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt" style=""><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi!<br></div><div><br></div><div>As D-Bus 1.0 is getting close to 15y [1], I thought it was time for a refresh of its home page.
