From kde-core-devel Wed Jun 19 23:20:20 2002 From: Cornelius Schumacher Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2002 23:20:20 +0000 To: kde-core-devel Subject: "get hot new stuff" button X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-core-devel&m=102452887121386 I have implemented a "get hot new stuff" button (well in fact it's a menu entry) for KOrganizer. The code is fairly general and could probably easily be extended to other apps. It's in kdepim/korganizer/knewstuff. Some things are still missing: - Remember what already has been installed. - UI to select the language of the stuff to be installed. - A bit of server infratructure for uploading stuff (i.e. something like an ftp upload area and a way to collect and move the uploaded stuff to the download area). - A customizable way to preview stuff before download. - DTDs for the XML files used for provider list and the meta information about the new stuff. But the basic functionality for choosing, downloading and uploading is there. Before I proceed I would like to ask what you think about it and how it goes together with the other efforts to implement this kind of functionality. -- Cornelius Schumacher
