OSNews Talks With the Konqueror Team

Posted by timothy on from the what-the-future-holds dept.

JigSaw writes: "OSNews features an exclusive interview with the Konqueror team, KDE's integrated filemanager, image/document viewer and web browser. Dirk Mueller, Waldo Bastian, Carsten Pfeiffer and Simon Hausmann are answering questions regarding the future of Konqueror, its portability and the integration with KDE3 and QT3. And speaking about KDE3, OSNews is reporting what's new in the new version: KDE 3 will be based on QT 3.0 and will also feature educational and other apps (like Kompare and KWinTV) as part of the default installation, support for extremely large files, new versions for KNode and KMail, email templates in KMail, advanced Web Shortcuts, S/MIME support, plugins for the KMenu, a graphical Regular Expression app (KRegExpEditor) and much more. A (very early) alpha version is already available."

  1. Such lofty goals... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    yet it still sucks.

    X will never be as 'quick and responsive' as Windows...

    It's not an issue of technology,
    it's an issue of the quality of the programmers...

  2. KDE is better by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    than that excretion known as GNOME. GNOME is fucking garbage. fuck gnome

  3. GNOME should die now by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    KDE gets all of this great stuff... and GNOME is still struggling with the concept of antialiased fonts, never mind really tight integration.

    Who has the better programmers, planners, and leaders? Not RMS' squad, as far as I can tell.

    Just stop working on the dead-end GNOME now and move to KDE, the real Windows-killer.

    Why do we need another web browser?


    Do you have some problem with Mozilla that we should know about?


    I'm sure some asshole will moderate this post troll or flamebait, but I'm 100% in earnest here.


    Did you ever wonder why Mozilla is continually falling behind schedule? Because people like the Konqueror team decide to go off on their own instead of working for the good of the community. Mozilla was there first, and it deserves the support of the community.


    If the free software community wants to make a good impression on the business world (and it may already be too late), we must, at all costs, avoid splitting into tiny, useless factions working on useless, duplicate projects.


    Here's an idea: before starting your new project, check to see if someone is already working on a similar project. Had the Konqueror team observed this little suggestion, the whole Konqueror fiasco could have been avoided.

      Hey faggot if you actually want anyone to use your shit you're gonna have to pay attention to corporations. Keep that attitiude, fine, but don't whine like a little school girl when microsoft crushes linux and it's never seen outside of some nerds basement.

      If you ask me, KDE and Trolltech and the rest of that bunch are nothing but niggers.

      Dr. William Pierce has a very good lecture about niggers available in mp3 for your enjoyment.
