Welcome Avgoustinos Kadis and David Capel! They will be adding two extremely great features: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/kde/appinfo.html?csaid=3DC6BC4A0C78D2B58A http://code.google.com/soc/2008/kde/appinfo.html?csaid=3D7AA48D3A91ED286 Right now seems to be a good time to update you on Parley as a couple of=20 things are happening. We have a dedicated Parley mailing list now: parley-devel@kde.org feel free to join if you have an interest in that app. Looking forward to=20 ideas and nice discussions. Also just drop a note if you want to get starte= d=20 coding of course. As we are getting closer to having an alpha release of KDE 4.1 now is a goo= d=20 time to start testing. Feature freeze is on, so it would be great to get=20 everything stable and clean. Thanks for reporting bugs on bugs.kde.org, I am happy to see that some of y= ou=20 are already playing around with what will become the new Parley ;) Speaking of which - there is a new possibility to export to HTML which is=20 great for printing. So far there are two templates (XSLT files) which creat= e=20 either flashcards or a list. I'd like to say a huge thank you to Frank Sieg= ert=20 who is doing a great job there. If you want to play with these files, they = get=20 installed into kde/share/apps/parley/xslt. It's fun to see how easily you c= an=20 create good looking HTML from you vocabulary. If you come up with a great=20 layout but lack some XSLT voodoo, speak up, I bet we can make something=20 happen. Spell checking - had been requested for quite a while. Assuming you have th= e=20 appropriate dictionaries installed (aspell, hspell packages mostly) it shou= ld=20 work somewhat now. Let me know how it works, because I didn't have the time= to=20 test it yet. I bet you have great ideas to add to this! New (better?) Interface. I think it's pretty cool, the main window has chan= ged=20 a bit and it is easier to more efficiently edit vocabulary. Maybe there are= a=20 few hints and improvements needed. Since I like to break things, you can guess the current state of Parley. Bu= t=20 it is becoming quite usable again. So I would really appreciate feedback an= d=20 testing again from now on :) It worked so great for the first release that there were very few fixes to = be=20 made in the 4.0.x branch. Also give the new guys a chance to get their hands dirty fixing your bugs,= =20 will you? Greetings, =46rederik If you have trouble getting Parley built (the current svn version should wo= rk=20 with KDE 4.0 still) let me know. And really broke at the moment is copy and paste. Don't even ask... Or do a= sk=20 if you want it in 4.1 ;) =2D-=20 Parley - The Vocabulary Trainer http://edu.kde.org/parley --nextPart12224766.PiBmtKiIQM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBIF43VcZKJUyELiPcRAjzpAJ0dGh0SfX+TCpWzHbGkNr2IX+7eiQCfdcvh T2gDk2oHB2jVyJz64mUbFRE= =Rx3m -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart12224766.PiBmtKiIQM-- --===============1137484415== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ kde-edu mailing list kde-edu@mail.kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-edu --===============1137484415==--
