What about krayon?
by kde user on Wednesday 29/Aug/2001, @05:40

It seems like krayon devel is going very slow, is this subproject still live?
When krayon could compete the another project's gimp?
Shame on krayon, this project is started 4 years ago and it's still:
> in the early stages of development but is
> already usable for experimenting with painting
> techniques and composing images using brushes
> and layers.
Also, ...! somebody knows something about already dead koffice subproject, kdatabase (or something like that (kdb, katabase)) that was planned to be ms access competitor in koffice?
Anyway some of other apps really rocks - kword, kspread, kpresenter, kontour. It's very hopefull release, as soon as you imlement more filters you will compete staroffice too :)
Also KDE2.2 is really the best DE!
Keep on good work! |

Krayon developpment is slow, but project is still alive.
This month fuctions for loading/saving multi-layers pictures, and printing functions has been added.
About Katabase, IMHO the project will resurrect with KDE 3 because Qt 3 provides tools for database connectivity and data presentation.

Where i can find more info about katabase project? home url?
I am really interested to contribute katabase resurection in flame of QT3 database connectivity.
About krayon I understand the difficulties of open-source delev. but there is no any info, the latest news is from November 21, 2000, there is only one screenshot from (08/99), which is for kde1. Community needs to be informed about recent developments, last weeks news were very rare, it seemed like kde died after post that it released version 2.2 and the review news. But there is no such article about latest improvements in krayon.
BTW recent screenshots of koffice (and krayon too) can be found at http://www.mslinux.com - a koffice guide (only first two chapters are ready). I think also that the Dot news should post an article about this site :)
Just want to be informed ;)

About katabase, I don't know.

Actually I think it looks like Katabase has been replaced/superceded/evolved into/whatever rekall by theKompany. And it looks very good so far (only up to version 0.5 (beta 3), but is shaping up to be VERY good).
It' so far can use MySQL, PostgreSQL or xBase files as a backend, uses Kugar for reports (I think) and the form logic is programmable in Python.
Looks very good.
