More on KDE Groupware

Posted by michael on from the viral-memes dept.

e8johan writes "The KDE PIM Team will integrate all their applications into one common interface and create an Outlook-like application.This is being done in the Kroupware project commissioned by the German government. There is a prototype of KOrganizer with KMain embedded into it (shots 1, 2), and another prototype with KMain running as a KPart in Kaplan (shot 1, 2, 3). This looks hopeful and if they manage to build the application as flexible and modular as other KDE projects this will hopefully mature into something great." Kroupware is a catchy name, but I wonder if the KDE team is aware of the English word croup.

    ...It refers to a portion of the back end of a horse. This makes it quite appropriate for an all-in-one "Outlook-like" application.

    KDE development is bound to hit a brickwall in a couple of years, as they're only so many nouns in english that begin with "K".

    Once again a /. comment that goes off ranting without folowing any of the links in the story...

    he said he can't be bothered to learn to program,
    so why should he bother to click the link and read?

    it's a lot easier to sit an screach and squawk and
    feel all important and smart.

    Just run Solaris, and you'll already have CDE.
