| This Week... |
|
The KDE project celebrates its 10th anniversary. System tray items can now be reordered by the user. Support for action sounds in okular. Work begins on Dynamic Brush architecture and canvas improvements in Krita, with layer handling improvements in Karbon. Krita switches library dependencies from ImageMagick to GraphicsMagick. Memory usage optimisations in the KHTML web rendering engine and Amarok.

Saturday, 14th October 2006 saw the KDE project age into the double figures - 10 years ago, Matthias Ettrich posted his vision for a graphical environment for the free desktop. From that single adventurous action has blossomed one of the forerunning open source projects, one which is steadily expanding in both mind and marketshare, and which is extending its reach ever-further across the globe.
On this anniversary, the following statistics represent the project:Of course, as important as these mighty statistics are the elements of KDE that cannot be easily measured, such as the unique KDE spirit and community.
Though the official celebration party was held in Stuttgart, Germany, reports reflecting the geographical spread of contributors and supporters flowed in. One such party was held in South Korea, with KDE developer Junkyu Park admirably representing the dragon in Asia.

This week sees the experimental expansion of the digest statistics section. To better understand the motivation and activity of the vital human component of KDE, I am gathering data which can then be mapped out in interesting ways. For now, (unknown) makes up a significant proportion of the data - this will improve weekly as I refine the collection methods. Enjoy this new look at our favourite project, and don't forget to either leave a comment or directly tell me what you think!

Michael Pyne committed a change to /trunk/KDE/kdesdk/scripts/kdesvn-build:
|
Merge two subroutines that were forked from each other long ago, and diverged a bit.
This allowed me to easily add support for CMake 2.4.3's progress output, without dropping support for unsermake's progress output (and made the code easier to read as well). |

Eric Kjeldergaard committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdeedu/kiten/app:
|
|
This adds a dbus / to kiten, adds the registered name org.kde.kiten (as well as fixing kde.org.kiten_ to ork.kde.kiten_). It also exports all public slots to the /. It is inspired by pong.c and ping.c from qtdbus examples in qt-copy. This should allow radselect to access functions VERY easily. Must find a cleaner way to do the name exporting of the org.kde.kiten model to avoid having to do a registerService("org.kde.kiten"). |
