I might be a good candidate since I am the only user (at least now). So, do we want to have a new library for it? or just rename and put it into KDE Libs? (I don't really know the procedure).

As far as I know, we can download a tar ball of the code. =C2=A0Nothi= ng
else - no version control, no team, no bug tracker etc.

It would seem to certainly require kde to adopt it.

Maybe someone could put out a cry-for-help on their blog and find
someone willing to care for it :-)

John

What would imply to maintain it?

I might be a good candidate since I am the only user (at least now).
So, do we want to have a new library for it? or just rename and put it int= o KDE Libs? (I don't really know the procedure).

Thanks,
Aleix
