| Wasn't TheKompany working on Athera a year ago? (and it was supposed to compete with Evolution?) Where is it now? |

It's a Qt project now. Doesn't use KParts, etc.

actually 1.0 is just about ready, we took a few months off to port it to the Sharp Zaurus and that project is in final beta. It uses some really cool technology to deal with plug ins and components in a multi-platform fashion, which I understand is a goal of kroupware (croup by the way means horses ass or bad cough, both are valid definitions. The word comes from the French actually which in turn is based on old German). I don't know why no one wanted to talk to us, we've put forward this proposal many times, oh well.

One reason is maybe that its development is not open and afair no source code was available for 0.9.9.

sure it's open development, just no one has been jumping in to help and the source is available.

So what is the CVS repository with the current post-0.9.10 version?

Since it looks like they want the final product to be native to KDE, I image they want to use KParts for components. Maybe there would even be some interest in using your component model as well. The ability to use a KPart as an Athera component or vice-versa could be a useful addition to both projects I would think.

Aethera use to use KParts, but those weren't multi-platform, which is the same problem that Kroupware is going to run in to. We switched to TINO (our OLE type tool) to replace it, and that is multi-platform and lightweight.

Well, since KParts are all GPL'd (LGPL'd) I think they will eventually become cross-platform, when required.

Exactly. It's just done when it's needed ;)
And, btw, no one didn't replay to the
question of the repository of that theKompany
project.
Cheers,
Christian Parpart.

I'm just heading out for a trade show, I've asked the engineer to respond with the system he has in place. Aethera is a huge project so it's important to stay properly organized.

Hi,
First of all, I want to let you know that the sources are available
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22463
I even tried to offer a SRPM (i386 only) package to avoid some QT style problems and to simplify the building process.
The CVS is open only for people who really want to develop (help) the Aethera project. Since the project is pretty big I want to be carefull with the code.
I am opened for anyone who wants to help, I will give him a CVS access and lot of info about the design.
My email is: eug@thekompany.com
And I am working for the first stable release (1.0).
Regards,
Eug
