In this week's KDE CVS-Digest (experimental layout):
Krita (screenshots) implements pasting, layers and autogradient. The
media kioslave now handles cameras.
KGeography adds more maps.
Special year end retrospective of the KDE development effort.

...and especially to Derek. Can't thank you enough for compiling the digest
for us every week. My saturday mornings would be quite less fun without them.
Yes, thank you Derek and everybody involved with KDE!
2005 will be a great year for KDE.
this media kioslave really sounds like it is something cool.
but I can't find any real information about it.
any plans for some sort of udev/hal frontend to manage hardware in 2005?
or is this supposed to be done at a lower level...
As far as I once read. The task of providing a front end is the goal of Freedesktop.org's HAL project.
There is already a HAL backend for this kioslave. All you need to enable it is to install hal >= 0.4 and dbus-qt bindings from cvs, and then compile kdebase. Feel free to test it !

for me the media io slave should provide access for :
camera , usb stick , mp3 player (ipod->amarok) , and handy (with kitchensync).
empty cdrs and dvdrs.

Enrico Ros work on Konqueror optimizations (unnecessary redraws)
Happy New Year and thanks for CVS-Digest :)
YES, very great work, it enhanced the experience of using konqueror a lot!
I would like to thank you for your freat effort cause depite the fact it's a holiday you make our saturday morning more fun with your digest so 10^1000000000 thanks
Happy new year and thanks a gazillion for all the cvs-digests past year!
Can someone explain (in "normal" people language) what kdom is? Thanks!
http://www.w3.org/DOM/
Document Object Model. Structured documents (html, svg) are parsed and then are represented as objects which can be manipulated however you want. khtml has a similar implementation.

In laymans terms, its a way to get really confused really quickly.

lol; you are right, I still have no clue what can be done with it, but thanks for the links.
Since he didn't get a mention. I'd like to thank Benjamin Meyer, he always seems to be at hand to help out with those silly mistakes I've made with autotools or cvs. Mr Binner and Mr Faure are also my heros, be it through helpful emails or helpful commits :)
And since this is a "thanks-chum" type post, I'd like to thank everyone! Working on KDE is the best thing I've ever done. I just wish I had started earlier - I had strange illusions about being a scientist..
I need to thank you Max for useful tips and psn,argonel,strm,binner and many people for the help all over the year :-)
"me too"! I feel very fortunate to be a part of the KDE project. Looking forward to all we accomplish in 2005!
Wishing everyone involved with KDE a happy new year - you've produced some excellent software in 2004 and no doubt more improvements to come in 2005 - in particular like the performance improvements with Konqueror as a file-manager - very fast/snappy now.
Looking forward to any brief preview articles on 3.4 or 4 over the next 6 months or so - with all the hard/involved coding work you're all doing, a couple of "brief", "light", "eye-candy/features" articles would be an excellent complement to the difficult dev. work you do - anyways,
Thanks everyone - the work's appreciated.
vote for KDE!

...missing from the year's overview (I counted manually, which means, there could be small errors in the numbers):
There have been 634 people committing to KDE.
5 people with >= 3600 commits, meaning about 10 per day or more;
27 (22) people with >= 1000 (<3600) commits, still about 3 per day or more;
230 (203) people with >= 100 (<1000) commits, more than 2 per week;
475 (245) people with >= 10 (<100) commits, about one per month;
595 (120) people with >= 2 (<10) commits and
39 people with one commit.
Of course the are "some" more people contributing to KDE who don't have CVS access, increasing the commit counts of those responsible for the modules.
