KLyDE: Lightweight KDE Desktop In the Making

Posted by timothy on from the vs-klydesdale dept.

jrepin writes "During Hack Week 9 at SUSE, longtime KDE hacker Will Stephenson started working on a project codenamed KLyDE. This project's aim is to bring KDE Plasma to the lightweight desktop market. It applies KDE's strengths of modularity and configurability to the challenge of making a lightweight desktop." Better said, Stephenson was able to devote lots of time to it; he's been working on the project for a few years now.

  1. This effort could be spent better! by bogaboga · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    While I applaud the programmer's efforts, I must say that it's efforts like these in the Open Source Community, that end up as wasted!

    You see, everyone who is talented, ends up "doing their thing," resulting in duplication and waste. One wonders why the talent of this programmer doesn't get absorbed into the larger KDE project. What would the harm be?
