  1. "non-profits that support Open Source" on SourceForge Donation System for Projects · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "Project admins can decide if they want to give a portion of their proceeds to non-profits that support Open Source, such as the Open Source Initiative, Python, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Gnome Foundation, etc."

    Does anyone has a complete list? Does it include KDE e.V. too?

    > 1.5 is a rehauling, but doesn't place the program back at the alpha stage by any means.

    It's more than an rehaul. It has been rewritten into a UI client and a data server part. More kind of a rewrite.

  3. Re:What's the big excitement? on Evolution 1.5 has Been Released · · Score: 1

    It's strange when an Evolution Alpha makes it on the front page and a KDE Beta not.

    What happens to the Composer and the IRC-Client after Mozilla 1.5?

  9. RHL Announcement? on Red Hat Posts Its Best Quarter Yet · · Score: 1
    I'm still waiting for the renewal of RedHat's RHL announcement or whatever it will be called. Its page still only states:

    Red Hat wants to thank the community for embracing this new project. We have received a lot of interest, comments, and questions, which have resulted in us rethinking some of our initial plans.

    Some things we are working on before we relaunch are:

    • Collaborating with existing projects to avoid duplication of effort
    • Incorporating community suggestions and feedback
  10. Re:Screen shots on KDE 3.2 Alpha 1 Finally on FTP · · Score: 3, Informative

    Just visit the screenshot pages of the major/new applications: Kontact (2, 3, 4), JuK, Kgpg, KAddressbook, KBruch, Kig, Kopete, KVim, KCacheGrind, Umbrello, KDevelop, Plasktik,

  11. Re:Don't let the source code compilation scare you on KDE 3.2 Alpha 1 Finally on FTP · · Score: 1

    That sounds like you had problems with the tarballs' configure scripts and thus qualify for a bug report at http://bugs.kde.org. Don't expect Konstruct to fix those magically.

  12. Just little mistake on KDE 3.2 Alpha 1 Finally on FTP · · Score: 1

    The Harmony project was about creating a *L*GPL'ed Qt replacement.

  13. First fork must not be the best fork on XFree86 Fork Gets a Name, Website · · Score: 1

    To announce that they have nothing to offer, requires nothing. Better wait for something bigger, more enclosing and more organized to go public.

  17. Re:these surveys are statistically meaninless on gDesklets - Gnome2's Karamba · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of course surveys don't ask every user. You missed to say why you think that those 600 are not representative. Also you fail to see that KDE sees massive absolute growth too.

  18. Re:KDE is more popular on gDesklets - Gnome2's Karamba · · Score: 1

    Ok, one site being in the news for GNOME related activities and linked from GNOME news website recently. Not very complimentary 4% lead for such case.

    Now you know why you need a "Show Desktop" shortcut and/or button in the panel. :-)

  20. KDE is more popular on gDesklets - Gnome2's Karamba · · Score: -1, Troll

    More popular? Show me one user poll showing that. Not even among developers.

  21. Re:Why to duplicate everything? on gDesklets - Gnome2's Karamba · · Score: 1

    The mechanism for providing the desktop background pixmap for transparency effects are not compatible between GNOME and KDE.

  22. Re:In related news... on gDesklets - Gnome2's Karamba · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of the transparent menu hack GNOME recently got a story on /. about and which in the KDE version always was flamed before as bloat and not good because it's not done the X server. Where are the flames now that GTK got it too?

    All correct except that the Kroupware project was not sponsored but a normal contract work.

  25. Kolab is the name on Kroupware Komplete · · Score: 2, Informative

    You only proved that you didn't read the announcement. The server is called Kolab, the project name was Kroupware.
