This Week...
KTTS can use new Hungarian mbrola voice. Kexi adds a new script editor and classes in Python bindings. Kopete sees start of MSN webcam support. Continued progress in Kicker, KHTML, Wifi and many others.

Frank Karlitschek announced a new web site: KDE-Docs.org. Here is the post on kde-core-devel: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=111367022916428&w=2
I have put KDE-Docs.org online.
The idea is to connect our strong user community with the KHotNewStuff Framework and our applications.

It is a place where KDE user can exchange documents and document-templates, discuss, vote, colaborate and more. The plan is to transform users into contributors.

We have KHotNewStuff feeds for:
  • Color Schemes
  • Emoticons (Already integrated in Kopete)
  • Fonts
  • Icon Themes
  • Karbon Templates
  • KDM Themes
  • Kexi Templates
  • KHangman
  • KLettres
  • Kopete (Already working)
  • KOrganizer
  • KPresenter Templates
  • Krita Templates
  • KSpread Templates
  • KStars
  • Kword Templates
  • Mouse Themes
  • OpenOffice Calc
  • OpenOffice Impress
  • OpenOffice Writer
  • Quanta DTEP
  • Quanta Scripts
  • Quanta Toolbars
  • Sound Themes
  • Wallpapers (Already working)
I can easily add more categories if something is missing. What do you think?

The site is for user contributions as opposed to files that developers produce to extend their application. Two issues arose in the discussion.

Andras Mantia wondered:
The question is how do we deal with is, will there be some kind of possibility to review what is uploaded? This is because at least Quanta has executable resources and you don't want to download a toolbar with a script which does a "rm -fR ~"... This is one of my concerns. The other is that what if the application has its own newstuff server? AFAIK right now you can use only one server, but I may be wrong.

The Kexi developers had a similar concern.

Anne-Marie Mahfouf also commented:
while kde-apps and kde-look are great, your kde-docs cannot integrate KHangMan and KLettres. These are educational programs, the data needs to follow strict guidelines. It also needs tests by me to adapt the code to the new language. For example the African dialect data I got 2 days ago for kLettres needed that I add 2 lines of code.
