There's a big "Fork" button on top here: https://invent.kde.org/graphics/kr=
ita/

That said, please coordinate with krita devs to make sure your work is
ever going to reach users.

Best,
Aleix

use all modern features of C++, up till that is supported by the latest GCC=
 release, 12.1 at the time of writing.

ions. The rules also require using deprecated features of the Qt framework =
like Q_FOREACH. I understand the care of the community not to spoil anythin=
g and to preserve the beauty of the existing code. This means, radical chan=
ges should be done in a form.

into repository - hangs at the end of the push. It may have something to do=
 with quotas or things the like. It may be that I need more assistance from=
 your side to setup the project. I decided to contact you first before star=
ting the work on GitHub or independent server instead.

perience with C++. In the past I made notable contribution to GNU Classpath=
 project, providing them a fully functional and interoperable implementatio=
n of CORBA. It is obviously sad there are no other contributors so far but =
I expect some people to come. I also made several contributions for Krita s=
o have some understanding about code base and architecture of this project.=
