    <title>Introduction to D-Bus Bindings</title>

    <para>The <application>D-Bus Bindings</application> are a group of packages
    that contain programming language and platform interfaces to the D-Bus API.
    This is useful for programmers to easily interface D-Bus with their
    supported platform or language of choice. Some non-D-Bus packages will
    require one or more of the Bindings packages in order to build
    successfully.</para>

    <para>Only the D-Bus GLib Bindings are included on this page for now.
    Other language bindings will be added soon. Until then, see the <ulink
    url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/DBusBindings">D-Bus
    Bindings</ulink> page for information.</para>
