Rob Buis 
is 
working 
on Karbon 
(but I 
don't 
think he 
has time 
for that 
by now)  
aand I 
work on a 
"Karbon 
fork" 
using 
multiple 
renderings 
and 
slightly  
different 
internals.  
  
The main 
problem 
is that 
if we can 
share 
some UI 
elements, 
the core 
strutures  
are very 
different: 
For 
example, 
I 
recently 
wrote a 
new color 
widget 
but as it  
is based 
on the 
VColor 
class 
(part of 
the 
Karbon 
core), it 
will be 
difficult  
to share 
it with 
Krita... 
In fact, 
due to 
design 
and goal 
differences, 
the  
canvas 
and 
painters 
have 
nothing 
in 
common. 
Such a 
project 
would 
need a  
serious 
rewrite 
of both 
applications.  
  
Bye,  
  
Ben.
