  1. Re:Why ... on Review of KOffice 2.0 Alpha 8 – On Windows · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The port was available in 2004 already, but just not maintained. The KDE 4 port is available on Windows since I compiled the stuff in September 2007.

    People are just not aware of that.

    The problem is the deployment of alpha software, we have no volunteers to even make good screenshots (the article shows GIMP on one of them!). Don't expect developers to work more than 24h a day :)

    Again, there is single codebase in most KDE apps (minus examples like Konsole), no "hard porting" is needed except work on dependencies that are non-Qt, e.g. less portable filter dependencies for Krita.

  2. Try Kexi on F/OSS Flat-File Database? · · Score: 1

    Try Kexi (http://kexi-project.org) it has features like strong CSV support, MS Access import, and SQLite is the default engine. It's LGPL, no Java and started long before OO Base.

  3. Try Kexi on A Database for the Office? · · Score: 1

    http://kexi-project.org/

    "Kexi is considered as a long awaited Open Source competitor for Microsoft Access, FileMaker and Oracle Forms. Its development is motivated by the lack of Rapid Application Development (RAD) tools for database systems that are sufficiently powerful, inexpensive, open standards driven and portable across many operating systems and hardware platforms."

  4. Poland, Again! on European Commission Reverses its Views on Patents · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is Mr. Gierek, from Poland, the only brave there??

  5. Of course, Kexi is available on Windows since 2004 on KOffice 1.5 Released · · Score: 1
