Users

Feel free to add information worth sharing, including things like:

• Questions on the FAQ. Hopefully, someone will reply once for all and keep it distribution agnostic and current status + plans.
• Service&Profiles and ExternalResources you can find on Bluetooth that could help either 'NewComers?' and Developers?.
• The list of programs UsingBluez. You can also add relevant informations about them or host your project wiki here.
