So no bitching about Gnome favoritism?
by T. J. Brumfield on Wednesday 23/Apr/2008, @17:51
|
I saw the list on Google's site the other day and I almost couldn't believe it.
Last year people were screaming Gnome favoritism. I wonder if this is Google trying to be bipartisan, or perhaps there were just more good KDE ideas this year.

Xbox 360 Streaming?
by Jeremy on Wednesday 23/Apr/2008, @19:09
|
After UPnP is done being integrated into Amarok. Does this mean that I can stream videos, and Music to my xbox 360?
Surprisingly enough, Microsoft used a standard for streaming inside the Xbox. This is my most missed feature and I would really appreciate it. :D

NX
by Janne on Thursday 24/Apr/2008, @01:02
|
I see that NX is in SoC. But I wonder: I saw those impressive demos few years ago, and even tried it myself. And the software is very impressive. But it seems that it hasn't gotten anywhere, as far as KDE is concerned. Few years ago I wished for transparent, bulletproof NX-support in KDE, and it still seems to be in the "to-do"-list. Yes, it propably works, but it's a hassle to set up.
back then, I dreamed of a aystem that would be 100% transparent no matter if the desktop was running on the local machine, or on a machine far away. We could then have low-powered net-enabled devices, that the user could use to connect to a powerful machine somewhere else. We are already getting devices just like that with the HP Mininote and Asus EEE.
Since KDE already has server-related projects (Kolab etc.), how about NX-focused server that is integrated with KDE?

Am I the only one to notice that the flatforty functionality of the dot is broken since some time... :-)

Amarok!?
by Hannes Hauswedell on Thursday 24/Apr/2008, @04:38
|
Maybe Amarok should have applied seperately though.
I recognize Amarok is one of the most famous KDE-Apps, but still I think too many projects were assigned to it (after all amarok is not part of the default kde-desktop - thank god ;) ).
Anyways, congradulations for getting that many assigned students.
I am especially looking forward to "Jingle video and voice chat in Kopete"!

Congratulations to all

To all the students who were accepted: Congrats! I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to the results.
I am, however, disappointed that my single most anticipated project didn't make the list ( http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-multimedia&m=120640149026582&w=2 ). I do hope Konrad is still able to find time to work on it without GSoC. Subtitles could really benefit from his work, and I think many many people (myself included) would appreciate it.

I'm glad a project for webkit-kpart was approved.
Now I can drop my plans for a webkit browser, hehheheheh.

OMG!!! kate vi mode!!!
by fhd on Thursday 24/Apr/2008, @11:33

There you go, so it's official, it will come!
I'm so depending on this one, I am sure that all living things will never feel any positive feeling ever again if kate doesn't get a decent vi mode!11!!eleven!
GO FOR IT ERLEND HAMBERG, YOU'RE A HERO!
PS:
Let's have a church of kate!
I already entered the church of emacs in my years of study, I hope these religions are compatible!
I would, if I could, actually leave the church of emacs. Never used it anyways. But RMS is just too arrogant to provide us with a respective sentence...
Well honestly, loads of cool projects going on, and KDE 4.0 surely needs a lot of manpower these days. Having invested so much in fast and easy application development, it should really work out like a charm.

Get the others
by Beat Wolf on Thursday 24/Apr/2008, @22:45
|
is there anything done to get the students on board that did not get accepted?
I think a little special event where all students not accepted are invited (do you have their email adresses?) would be nice, if only 10% would try to complete their project even without SoC it would be a huge win for kde

Plasma extenders?
by Sebastian on Friday 25/Apr/2008, @05:29
|
Sounds like an interesting concept. But I am not sure if I correctly understood what is intended. Are there any mock-ups, videos or may somebody explain it any further?

SVG
by JRT on Tuesday 29/Apr/2008, @03:30
|
I see two projects:
Integration of WebKit SVG library with KHTML
WebKit SVG Filters Design and Implementation
There seems to be some inconsistency in the project descriptions regarding which features are available for SVG in WebKit. Perhaps the two projects could work together on this.
IAC, there is an architecture question here. KHTML currently uses a KPart from KDEGraphics to render SVG. This KPart is based in QSVG. It appears to me that if this is to be changed (and work is needed since QSVG doesn't support filters) that work should be done on the bottom of the stack -- on KDEGraphics rather than changing the library that KHTML uses to render SVGs.
Then it appears that WebKit currently doesn't support much (if any) more of the SVG features than QSVG does. I would like to point out again that Apache Batik has a very good SVG renderer which is written in Java. Rather than reinventing the wheel, could this existing code be used? Either by porting the Java to C++, using JNI to use the Java code, or compiling the Java code into C++ classes with GCJ.
