Hello everyone,
Kanagram is technically maintained by me, but I've had very little free time to work \
on it (right now I'm finishing up my second semester of University for this year). In \
two weeks, I'll be out for the summer. At that time, I'd like to say I'd have plenty \
of free time to work on Kanagram, but I'll be doing a redesign of the "What's This?" \
help system for Google Summer of Code, so I'm very uncertain whether I'll have time \
to work on it. The main tasks as I see them for KDE 4 are:
1. Use SVG graphics to make things scalable (possibly including a feature to use \
user-created themes) 2. Revamp the NewStuff code, allowing the user to upload \
vocabularies, make sure downloading works smoothly, etc.
AFAIK, there are no open bugs, and no major issues other than these two. If anyone \
thinks differently, don't hesitate to speak up. As I said before, I'd love to be able \
to work on Kanagram this summer, and if I get the time, I will definitely do so. But \
I'm just not certain I will have the time if Real Life gets in the way.
BTW, thanks, annma, for bringing up this topic. This is an important discussion to \
have.

Hi all,
Quoting Urs Wolfer from the Release Team:
"In order to keep our quality, we should do a general application cleanup over
all modules before the KDE 4.0 release. We have a lot of unmaintained
applications that are horribly broken, apps that have a small userbase or
apps that are to specific to keep them in a mainmodule.
Points for cleanup decisions:
* Is the app well maintained?
* Is the app in a good shape? If not, was it in a good shape in KDE 3 times?
* Are there a lot of issues on b.k.o? Check how often issues are reported.
When has the last issue been reported? If there are less open issues, but the
app is not in a really good shape, this means the app has a small usebase.
* If it is an app with a small userbase, is it in a good shape? If it is, we
can probably move it to extragear.
* Does that app duplicate functions with another app form a mainmodule?
We should decide which applications we are going to drop as soon as possible."
-------------
Unmaintained in kdeedu are: KBruch, Kanagram, KLatin and KPercentage.
We have to decide what we do about these apps: are they in good shape enough
to be left in the module, provided we all have a look at them and fix them if
needed, hoping they'll find a maintainer? or are we going to leave them out?
Thanks in advance for any feedback, I'd hate to have to take a decision alone!
Anne-Marie
