Wikimedia and KDE Cooperation Announced

Posted by Zonk on from the wikitacular dept.

eean writes "As reported by KDE Dot News, today Jimmy Wales, chairman of the Wikimedia Foundation, announced the beginning of a cooperation between Wikimedia and the KDE project at LinuxTag in Karlsruhe, Germany. As the first applications, like the media player amaroK, start to integrate Wikipedia content the idea is to create a webservice API to access the information from Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia or Wiktionary."

  1. Speaking of amarok by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    When will the taglib people allow m4a contributions into the code, so that I can use amorak to display these files in its collection?

    They really seems to be quite childish in their reasons for why they don't.

    More on topic, Amarok's integration with Wiki is great, though I don't know why they don't allow users to edit the page directly inside amaroK. Indeed, they seem to have removed all the [edit] buttons.

    Can someone add a Canadian audio sample for the word About? And possibly other strange brew/newfie related stereotypes?
