The README file for udisks right now states

 The udisks project provides

  o  A storage daemon that implements well-defined D-Bus interfaces
     that can be used to query and manipulate storage devices.

  o  a command-line tool, udisks(1), that can be used to query and
     use the daemon

which I think is (somewhat) accurate but also very sparse. I hope my
previous message clarifies this a lot more - including what kind of
interfaces we're aiming to provide now - and in the future. It would be
good to condense some of that and put it in the README or HACKING file.

Thanks,
David
