Quickies: KDEvibes, Zeroconf, New User Guide, Konqi's Background

Tuesday, 25 May 2004  |  Fmous

On Artemio's homepage I read that the new SUSE version 9.1 uses KDEvibes, a collection of system sounds for the KDE desktop. More system sounds can be found at KDE-Look.org.

While looking around at the excellent KDE Wiki I found this page about integrating Zeroconf into KDE Apps. Recently the project was registered at SourceForge.

Although you are not a perfect English speaker and you have no knowlegde of DocBook you do have the skill to explain something fairly clearly in a non-technical manner? You could help writing the new userguide which recently appeared in KDE CVS. This is the start of a complete rewrite of the old KDE User Guide. You can catch a glimpse of the new userguide. So don't wait but apply for that job.

To finish Quickies I dug up some info about Konqi and his background.

Don't know if it is technically possible but I would really appreciate if future Quickies would use new lines for separating different topics. Another suggestion would be to separate them using some asterisks (*), as in: "Recently the project was registered at SourceForge. *** Although you are not a perfect English speaker and you have no knowlegde of DocBook you do have the skill to explain something fairly clearly in a non-technical manner?" Just my 2 cents. Sorry for my bad english.

Thanks, Fabrice! ;-) - Artemio - 2004-05-25

I'm currently very busy with writing my new track, but I have already created lots of new effects for KDEvibes. I hope to start writing new jingles in next few days.

Original User Guide announcement - Philip Rodrigues - 2004-05-25

The original request for help for the User Guide that I sent to the kde-quality list is archived at: https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-quality/2004-May/000608.html It has some useful information about how to help with the User Guide. (Fab, perhaps it would be useful to link to this message in the story?) Regards, Phil
