Deep Inside the K Desktop Environment

Posted by Hemos on from the kteach-kyourself-kabout-kit dept.

Lemmingue writes "Ars Technica published a very good article about the KDE architecture. It's a essential read for anyone wondering how Konqueror can open documents in the same window or just understand the license issues regarding the Qt use. The article describes most of the technologies behind the KDE (Qt, KParts) and how the project is organized. The article is full of links, screenshots and diagrams."

    You'd think the Feb 04 bit at the beginning of the article would have tipped them off...

    ...you guys will link up my new Prescott article that went live this morning!

    (Looking back at this post with the preview function, I'm thinking, "is this a troll, flamebait, informative, funny, all four, or none of the above?" I post, you decide.)

    Yep. There was discussion and the 'Kool' part was dropped prior to version 1.0. That was a long time ago. Have you been putting the cover sheets on the TPS reports? If not, I'll get you a copy of both memos and drop them off on your desk later, m'kay? That's greeeat.

    Good names include:
    • Apache for a webserver (smoking signals)
    • Evolution for an email suite
    • Gimp for a drawing program
    • Mozilla for a browser
    • Exim for a mailserver
    • Squid for a proxy (8 arms, wow, very intuitive).
    Yeah you are right, KDE should work on it.

    The site where: "I'm right, as long as you ignore the things that prove me wrong", became a valid method of debate.

    GPL is a partial solution? Better tell that to the kernel folks!
