-=QtDBus module discussions at Qt Contributor Summit 2013=
-Topics for discussion:
-* Rewriting the engine:
-** Dropping the libdbus-1 dependency
-** Moving the connection handling to a dedicated thread
-** Adding support for kdbus
-* kdbus overview
-Discussion:
-# Take ahartmetz’s marshaller/demarshaller and put on top of QtDBus &amp; libdbus-1
-# Moving the handling to a thread
-# Handling our own socket
-## Remember the specifics about sockets on Windows
-# Adding kdbus compatibility
-* Generator in QtDBus generates synchronous property get and set
-** QtDBus should discourage sync calls more
-** For properties, we could add new <span class="caps">API</span> that is async (returns QDBusPendingReply&lt;void&gt; and QDBusPendingReply&lt;QDBusVariant&gt;)
-* There is no error-checking in qdbus_cast (from variants)
-** No way to distinguish a T() returned from qdbus_cast&lt;T&gt;() as empty or as error
-* Parse documentation annotations and generate documentation in the Interface and Adaptors?
-* Investigate the type system used by Telepathy
-* Update documentation about supporting multiple platforms (specifically, Windows)
-** Right now, it says it’s Unix-only
-** Would be nice to have better tutorials too
