Karamba vs. SuperKaramba
by Ralph M. Churchill on Monday 05/May/2003, @07:11

I'm one of the new maintainers for Karamba and creator of the RSS patch. We've been in brief discussions with the maintainer of SuperKaramba and it looks like, at this time, we will NOT be merging the code bases. Mainly, I think, as projets we have different aims. Hopefully in the future a better separation between the Python and C++ portions can be established and the projects can co-exist or intermingle.

With that being said, we're in the early stages of getting the project setup on SourceForge. You can download the last version Hans created, 0.17, from SF right now: http://sourceforge.net/projects/karamba Hopefully, we'll have some more stuff up soon (including a new version with my RSS patch integrated). After that I plan n just working through some of the items on the TODO list, etc.

Also, I think there is interest in maybe enhancing the extensibility of Karamba -- making it easier to add non-core functionality. Maybe through "plugins", etc. Anyway, lots to do! Please feel free to post to the SF forums or drop us a line. Thanks!

This really doesn't make much sense at all. In what ways are the aims of Karamba and SuperKaramba different? Sooner or later, the two projects are going to have to merge, or else one will die off--doesn't it make sense to merge them now and avoid wasting time before the inevitable?

Hhmmm - a thread entitled Karamba vs. SuperKaramba that totally ignores the aim. Not handy. So, is anyone actually going to dare approach the topic of this thread and actually DETAIL the differences?

I guess not, huh? and here I am, after googling "karamba vs. superkaramba" months later, and void of information because of it!

For shame!

Karamba uses perl for its theme scripts while SuperKaramba (without space gets you more hits when searching) mainly uses python instead.
