In this week's KDE Commit-Digest: Work on Decibel and the KDE-based NEPOMUK components accelerates. The Unity web rendering engine experiment is removed from KDE SVN, due to a change in the circumstances that prompted its creation. KTabEdit, a guitar tablature editor is imported into the KDE SVN playground. A branch of kde-pim for improvements in future 3.5 releases shows promise with the introduction of several new features. QMA, an experimental email client, continues to mature and is renamed Mailody. Usability and file format support refinements in Amarok. Speed optimisations in KViewShell and KFTPGrabber. More improvements in the state of games in KDE 4.

KDE vs GNOME is another example!
I'm sure there's also some pain when a competing app becomes dominant, thereby sending a developers years of hard work and nurturing to the second-class-citizen realm. I can definitely sympathize with a developer not wanting to "give up" and "work for the other guys." Competition is a good thing; it keeps the level of innovation high. Look at some of the great ideas that have become mainstream because a developer had the balls to start a new project.
Never heard about Nepomuk. Does this mean that work on Tenor is definitely stopped?
tenor has never seen any real work, except for some code which never even made it to the KDE repository (afaik). tenor was a concept, and nepomuk & strigi are implementing it.
OK, I know that NEPOMUK is a Networked Environment for Personalized, Ontology-based Management of Unified Knowledge, however every time I see "NEPOMUK" my inner voice says "NEO-PUNK".
wow, man, you have a weird problem ;-)
Same for me... I think they _want_ us to think we're crazy!
NEPOMUK is also city in Czech Republic ( http://old.nepomuk.cz/ ) and birthplace of Saint John of Nepomuk ( http://www.sjn.cz/ ).
And I thought it was just me. It freaks me out every time I see it because NEO PUNK just makes more sense.
After all, Neo WAS a punk! :)
Maybe it is a little to optimistic, but the first technical preview should be out soon (from the "release plan"). Is there already a new official date ?
I think a second Krash snapshot is in the planning.
"The Unity web rendering engine experiment is removed from KDE SVN, due to a change in the circumstances that prompted its creation."
Can someone please decode that message to me?
Read the previous comments, it was answered near the top (merged with Apple's server).
