>>hi there,

hi olaf, i just finished reading your proposal for eks. very interesting, 
i've been thinking about things along these lines. it basically about pushing 
the envelope of 'web services' and zope. very cool, and powerful. bringing 
distributed objects to the desktop.

you should really check out the python-dcop bindings and the kxmlrpcd, i've 
used them to script my desktop (kde2.1.1). there are no plans for kde2 python 
bindings that i know of (although phil thompson (pyqt/kde) says it just a 
matter of cookie cutting (paraphrase)). 

also you might want to outline the capabilities of particular applications 
that your interested in integrating in your paper.

my biggest problem when considering this concept is that many of these 
applications are configured per user, which doesn't lend itself to a 
multiuser integrated system.

still, tis a very interesting idea.

cheers
