Kdenlive Developer Jean-Baptiste Mardelle Is Missing

jones_supa writes "Kdenlive's project leader Jean-Baptiste Mardelle, who always used to let people know if he was going to be away for a couple of days, seems to have just disappeared. His last e-mail and blog post were in early July and they didn't suggest any problems. While there's many Kdenlive fans out there for the KDE-focused open-source video editor, it seems new development efforts around the project have ceased. Also the Kdenlive Git repository hasn't seen any new commits (aside from the automated l10n daemon script) since early July. There has been also people in KDE forums and Kdenlive developers' mailing list pondering about the status of the project, being left none the wiser."

    It somehow seems appropriate that a troll would respond to a post about a gnome.

    On a bigger topic, this is the kind of software that would really benefit from having far more contributors.

    There's dozens of open source video editors out there. For some reason the open source community values the quantity of choices over the quality of any one of them.
