Re: Original Subject., or should we start a new pa

Karbon & Kocoa.
Aside from possible legal issues and the fact it's probably hardly possible, it's way out of scope for a SOC (in terms of size, I mean).

The printer thing: why duplicate work which is done in a well-maintained underlying system within a desktop environment?

Would love a better way of viewing SVG, but then I'd rather see it in Gwenview so it can show SVG's like any other picture (and it already provides a KPart).

SMIL is coming, partly, in kmplayer. Maybe someone wants to help there...

Maybe the XDG stuff is interesting as well. As you seem to know a lot about it, why not take that on yourself?

Any improvements to svg should go into ksvgrenderer, this will ensure that all applications using svg's get the benefits, not simply an application to display them.

WINE more or less works and it is an attempt to reverse engineer a totally closed system. As I said, Cocoa and Carbon are well documented and a lot of Cocoa is based on code that is now opensource (gnuSTEP).

There is an old expression about using a sledge hammer to kill a gnat. I see no duplication of work a simple print system; there isn't a lot of work to duplicate in any case since I am suggesting a *simple* system for a single user to drive one or two printers.

If GwenView doesn't use the same code that SVG Part uses, perhaps there are architectural issues that need to be addressed. Yes, whatever is done it should be available in all apps.
