Re: PhpQT / PhpKDE

"focus on perl, python, ruby, java and C# and basically ignore everything else" but that leaves out the one scripting language that is arguably more popular than any of the ones just listed. For all the individual worth of the various languages mentioned, I'd put money on PHP being the more approachable, therefor generally usable, language for desktop fiddling by the masses. Perhaps I am biased and when I say "the masses" I really mean me but I really do suspect that if a PHP + Qt/KDE gui building app was available it would see more and faster desktop trinket innovation than from any other language.

With Qt4 beta SDKs available and the release of PHP5, now would be a good time to put some effort into some PhpQT / PhpKDE project. Anyone seriously interested ?

I am sure you gonna find someone. However, after spending a few months trying to fix OTPC[1] I can tell you: a 15KLOC app in PHP is going to be an amazing feat. Not pretty, but amazing.
