D-Bus API in DevHelp

The Telepathy API has until recently only been available as a single large HTML document. The HTML is generated from D-Bus introspection XML with extensions for stuff like enums. I hacked up a conversion to DevHelp's index format, meaning you can use DevHelp to browse the documentation.

To set it up:

check out the telepathy-spec repository
run make
copy doc/spec.html and doc/telepathy-spec.devhelp2 to a directory /usr/share/doc/gtk-doc/html/telepathy-spec/

This might also work for other D-Bus APIs; I haven't tried.

(If you're developing using Gtk/GLib/Cairo/Pango/GStreamer/etc. and not tried DevHelp, I heartily recommend it. It's really handy, especially with the Ctrl-S shortcut.)

	I keep feeling like I should hack on telepathy and the jabber bits. Is the development accessible to people who aren't doing it more than a day or two per week? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hard to say really. Our introductory documentation is somewhat sparse. There are a bunch of things to learn. On the other hand, there are a bunch of people on #telepathy who know how it works. We have some todo lists on the wiki if you're looking for some relatively simple stuff to get started on. (Reply to this) (Parent)
