It would be nice if there was a standard. lets say: apps.kde.org/[app name] for individual apps. projects.kde.org for software collections (KOffice, KDE-PIM, KDE-EDU, KDE games, etc)
Yes, thats what I wanted. Doing what we have now is confusing and needs some standard.
I would be glad to help if thats needed.
Yep, help is much appreciated.

You'll need to get an okay from the maintainer of every involved app, of course.
kde 4 is delicious but somehow i can't help feeling there isn't enough cheese in it. i'm thinking camembert, i'm thinking halloumi, i'm thinking stilton. exciting cheese with lots of flavour, makes you tingle just thinking about it. not like that gnome stuff which is just foot cheese, or the mac cheese which is fun with those apple chunks in it but is too prissy. good solid cheese.
i used to like windows cheese but it went mouldy.
remember folks, more cheese = better!
And don't forget the Port to compliment the cheese !!!
Will KDE 4.1 be able to run on Haiku?
Or will the applications run on it?
From the little I know about it, it seems to have great potential. It's just missing an up to date window environments --> KDE to the rescue.. :)
It also seems to be a speed demon on slower computers. Maybe it is one on faster computers as well?
No idea.
Is Haiku POSIX compatible ?
The windowing system may be a problem, it seems it doesn't have X.

Does this help with info?
If I understand correctly Haiku is the open source version of BeOS. Apple almost used BeOS for OS-X, but decided to use Nextstep instead at the last minute.
If all goes according to plan, Haiku will be POSIX compatible, because BeOS was.
Any new updates coming soon?
It's been pretty quiet around KDE and Windows KDE this week.
You guys are doing a great job!!
Just please update us. :)
