Hi all,

I'm one of the developers of labplot. LabPlot2 is close to its first st= able
release. The official homepage [1] is a bit outdated and will get updated i= n
the next couple of days. You can have a look at some screenshots here [2] a= nd
here [3] if you want to know what LabPlot2 is and how it looks like.

I'm thinking about becoming an official part of kde-edu. What are the conditions for this?

I saw a couple of nice features in kmplot that are not available in LabPlot=
yet. I'm also thinking about Cantor and how to combine such an interfac= e for
different CASs with LabPlot2. 2d-plotting and editing of many plot objects = in
LabPlot2 is in quite good shape now. Besides implementing new smaller featu= res
after the first release, on of the next big steps to go could be the
integration of a script language like python or so in order to make possibl= e
the workflow similar to matplotlib (e.g. [4]). Instead of python, or better= to
say, in addition to python, the integration of, say, Maxima would be greate= .
This is where the expertise of Cantor's authors would be very valuable.=

Just saw a review request for analitza on this mailing list. I was not awar= e
of this project before. Looks like there is a lot of similar work done by independent projects. So, a collaboration between these projects in the lon= g
term would be very nice and we can try to create _the_ plotting software fo= r
KDE that goes beyond the current possibilities of other similar projects in=
Qt/KDE-world (labplot, scidavis, kst, veusz, qtiplot, qcustomplot etc.)

What do you think about this?

I hope, the developers of kmplot and cantor are reading this mailing list. = If
not, please tell me so I can try to get them directly :-)

Best regards
Alexander

Hi Alexander,

I'm the Analitza and KAlgebra maintainer in = KDE Edu, I'm happy to see your interest in our project. You're welc= ome to join the KDE family, and therefore KDE Edu. Belonging to KDE only de= pends on the project being able to live in the premises of the KDE Manifest= o [1], which seems to me like it does. The biggest change will be moving th= e project from sourceforge to kde.org, but I= 'd say this will bring some benefits you can take advantage from.

Furthermore= , the fact that the project is part of KDE Edu is, at the moment, depending= on the goal of wanting to improve the available tools for education.

Regarding d= evelopment, I can't really tell about kmplot, but it has barely been de= veloped during the last years. Maybe you can take a look at KAlgebra/Khipu = and see if there's any way we can work together though.

I hope we&#= 39;ll see you around!

Aleix
