[Sugar-devel] About using networkmanager with introspection

[James Cameron]

It is so irritating that to review patches to Sugar one has to click
on the link in the mail, which doesn't even get you to the patch, but
instead takes you to a page you have to click twice on to see the
code.  And since the pages are SSL over HTTP, the time to connect can
be considerable.  This really favours developers with low latency
internet.  ;-}

It is so much simpler.  I like it, please continue.

It reminds me of how silly the dbus api was when I first saw it.

Yes, it will be some considerable work, but as you know, it can be
broken into short periods of editing.  When I have to break such a
conversion into multiple sessions, I add more careful methods to check
the changes before commit.
