the knowledge base
by Patcito on Wednesday 04/Jan/2006, @14:47

I understand that the Solid libs needs to be KDE libs and that's great.
But how about sharing the knowledge base with other projects, I think the best way to do this would be to host it on freedesktop or make it available to other projects that use a different backend than Solid. That way more people will be able to send feedback, the knowledge base will grow bigger and so faster. I guess that this will be possible as Solid will be opensource every other projects will be able to implement the Knowledge base API part. But maybe it would be better to organize something about it now with gnome and other freedesktop projects.
What do you think?

I don't think this is really necessary. Solid will use HAL servies etc. (depending what's available) and offer a KDEfied API for it. freedesktop.org so far is very Linux centric, while the purpose of Solid is to offer an abtracted API for accessing lower level information which can only be received in different way on different systems/platforms. The info of course is beeing shared since the code for that all is and will be in KDE's open SVN.
