generic api?
by Derek Slovin on Friday 24/Jun/2005, @09:19

Would this api be specific to KDE? or can any application use the webservice (like a gtk app, windows app, osx app, etc). It seems to me that this is just a webservice and I am confused as to why kde is involved.

The Wikipedia one? No. The one within kdelibs? Sure.

KDE is the one to initiate this and the first one to use it.

Remember, KDE - the desktop with momentum. ;-)

Yes, others will be able to use the mediawiki API. Its just that a KDE app, amaroK, is already showing how Wikipedia can be used in applications.

It appears a KDE API is also being planned, to make it easy for any KDE app to insert Mediawiki content (basically a wrapper around the webservice, perhaps with offline features). That would be specific to KDE.
