Based on feedback we've received in the last week we have made some changes to
APPS.KDE.com. Most significantly, we have
introduced internal frames to replace framesets. This approach works great with Konqueror and IE, but works optimally only with JavaScript enabled; Netscape 4.x does not support internal frames.
We have also added the ability to browse categories and conduct searches

It's a Qt-extension widget set for MDI that is an alternative to QWorkspace. Compared to QWorkspace, your application is configurable in several modes - MDI like QWorkspace and Unix-like with all windows as toplevel. You can compile QextMDI as a KDE2 extension library, it then bases on KMainWindow and kdeui.so. You can decorate the MDI views with Win9x, KDE1 and default-KDE2 windowmanager style.

The second public beta of Kivio is now available from theKompany.com. Most major distributions are available and so is the source. License is now officially GPL.

theKompany.com is proud to announce the second beta release of Kivio - our premiere flowcharting tool.

This week, in The People Behind
KDE, Tink interviews Rik Hemsley, who is actively working on Empath, a
groupware project much like Outlook for the KDE PIM project. In fact, his claim to fame is that "people seem to know me as the Empath man, but it's not even released yet."

Several of you have written in to note that Red Hat 6.2 rpms for KDE 2 are now available here. A full list of KDE 2.0 binaries for the various distributions/versions is below -- if you know of any more please add a comment. Remember, folks, these rpms are not built by the KDE Team. Update: 11/06 10:16 PM.

The LinuxJournal has announced the winners of its 2000 Reader's Choice Awards. Not surprisingly <grin> KDE won as the "Favorite Desktop Environment" (1, 2, 3). Congratulations to the KDE Team! I know they appreciate user awards the most.

Breaking news! The KDevelop Team will release version 1.3 of its C/C++ IDE for UNIX within the next couple of weeks. The new release has a lot of new features regarding KDE 2 and Qt 2.2 development, particularly a project file generator which creates a project file out of your existing automake/autoconf project on the fly so you can start working with KDevelop on your former project within seconds. I´ve tried this last night with the kdebase module - and it worked!

Read all about it in this feature currently running on LinuxWorld. As we had previously reported, KDE also took the Linux Community Award 2000 at that event -- LinuxWorld have now made available a RealPlayer streaming video of the ceremony.

The KDE Team needs your help with writing documentation for all of the great applications in KDE! This is your opportunity to help KDE become useful to the users of KDE applications at any level. You don't need to be a professional writer, and you don't even need to know everything about a program. For more information, please visit us at the Editorial Team website, or contact Mike McBride if you are interested.

In KDE2 related news, ZDNet have reviewed KDE2 and love it. Very much. LinuxToday.com.au like it too, as seen in this article titled after a well-known Australian TV advert. LWN have provided coverage on the KDE2 release here.
