Harmony Rides Again

MarkX writes "This morning Adam Richter announced a new CVS repository for the GNU Harmony Project. The Harmony project is an effort to creat a Qt source compatible library under the LGPL. This project was started some time ago and was disbanded when Qt went open source, but has recently been revived. The web page is back up also. The project is looking for programmers and various other help. "

    Gee, KDE, like it or not is going BIG! People don't like it for whatever reason ranging from it looks to much like windows to I hate it because it uses QT and QT ain't free...

    Fair enuf... you don't like it don't use it.

    Now... some people are working to make it completely free and settle down all the fuss about it, and that's the answer they get??? You can't tell people what to program or not, it's THEIR choice... pay them, and they may program something for you... otherwise, it's called a challange. Maybe like linux was... and I'm sure people were saying stuff like what a waste of resources, we already have windows, DOS and mimix, what's the need for yet another operating system?

    The challange here is to make KDE free because it has the potential of becoming the desktop for less *nix litterate administrators...

    I don't use it, but I keep an eye or two on it... And harmony's definitely the way to get KDE to become a free window manager like the rest of linux is...aren't you tickled when you hear that one of the main parts (to some people) of Linux isn't free when all the other major components of Linux are?

    And just think about another thing... it doesn't really matter what you're coding, it's still a good way to attract attention on you when you're looking for a job... and surely effective!

    So then again, you don't like it? don't use it.
