I had understood that dbus was supposed to be the universal communication system for OLPC. But I don't know anything about it other than that the latest version of Skype needs it but the dbus build in Gentoo is broken so I can't install it on this machine :-(
But: One cannot directly send messages to other computers via dbus, nor does it work for interfacing apps like csound. So it's a solution to talk to (and maybe start) other applications
- but not for everything. Grrr, no silver bullet again... ;-)
Sugar uses zeroconf for broadcasting (a.k.a. Bonjour).
So, shall the csound experience of Squeak be based on the services TamTam already might provide (if it was connected to the bus) or do we want/need a direct csound interface?
I don't know. We should discuss this with the csound folks, on the Sugar mailing list.
