here are some contribs for the next kc kde. russell, i am quite busy atm 
learning and doing some stuff on

http://edu.kde.org/contrib/kvtml.php

at some point, you might want to mention it, but atm it s not yet ready for 
primetime. let me know if that would fit into the "other news" section. i ll 
then let you know when i think it s become more useable.

but back to the sentence that startet line 1. i ll try to keep an eye on 
koffice and kde-edu.. but expect as few, maybe less contribs from me for some 
time, as you get now..

Nadav Rotem wrote a tool that summarizes texts. It was his very own very
nice idea, to tell KOffice-developers about it:

Hi KWord people!

I wanted to present a feature that be nice to have in KWord;
I coded an automatic text summarizer that summarizes texts in multiple
languages. At the moment it can summarize texts in English and Hebrew.
Support for German , Russian and Arabic is underway.

The name of the project is called OTS (Open Text Summarizer); It
includes a command line tool for summarizing texts and libots for
programs to use; OTS resides on the abiword CVS for abiwords has a
plug-in for it.

<p>
OTS has 3 modes:<br/>

<ul>
<li>
1.Summarizer - summarizes the text to n% of the original size
</li>

<li>
2.Highlighter - Highlight the m% important sentences in the article - generates html;
</li>

<li>
3.About - tells you a list of a key words the article talks about
</li>
</ul>
</p>

I think it would be nice if KWord had this feature. OTS provides a cool
interface for programs to use and its pretty trivial to implement a
plugin for;

<p>
On-line demo for the program: (english only because of old perl 5.6)

The issue was raised that the tool itself depends on glib2, which would be
a new dependency for <a href="http://www.koffice.org">KOffice</a>.
Since <a href="http://www.koffice.org">KOffice</a> does not yet depend
on the upcoming 
<a href="http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.2-release-plan.html">
KDE 3.2</a>, which will make glib2 for 
<a href="http://www.arts-project.org/">aRts</a>-users mandotory, it was decided
to either compile and provide a binary of 
<a href="http://www.abisource.com/lxr/source/ots/">ots</a> or make glib2 a weak
dependency for <a href="http://www.koffice.org">KOffice</a> - only compile it
when glib2 is available.

Recently Anne-Marie Mahfouf introduced another addition to the 
<a href="http://edu.kde.org">KDE-Edutainment Project</a>, saying:

Hi all,
</p>

I rewrote the first game I coded for KDE and I imported it in cvs HEAD in 
kdenonbeta. The name is Kard and it's a Memory-like game for young kids.
<a href="http://edu.kde.org/kard/obtain.php">http://edu.kde.org/kard/obtain.php</a>

At the moment, I have 2 major problems in Kard, in the kardview.cpp file.
1) when I set the theme to "house", there are pictures on the cards and they 
are not sized correctly. 
2) when I click 2 same cards in this theme "house", their backgrounds are 
not recognized to be equal.

KardWidget is the widget for one card i.e. a QLabel with another QLabel on 
top of it to hide it. 
In kardview.cpp: 
The layout of the game is done in the game() method (cards are drawn, colors 
or pics are set as background). 
Then when you click on a card, you go to slotTimer() and there the card is 
identified by 
kardW[co] = (KardWidget* ) sender(); 
co being 0 then incremented 
when 2 cards are discovered, the connection is stopped (clicking on a card 
has no effect) and in slotMatch() I see if the cards have the same 
backgrounds. 
But this does not work when the background is a pixmap (colors work OK).

If someone has some time to have a look at this, it would be great as I am 
lost... Maybe my approach to the problem is not good...

Some of the problems have been fixed right away by Whitehawk Stormchaser:

OK... I have patched the CVS a bit... This is fixed:

<ul>
<li>
Compatibility with the older version of Qt (3.1) (I still have it)
</li>

<li>
Don't crash on the changing the number of cards
</li>

<li>
Make the 'theme1' actually install
</li>
</ul>

Nicolas G. made some improvements to the OpenOffice Writer export
filter of <a href="http://www.koffice.org">KOffice</a>. He mentions
the following: 
</p>

<quote who="Nicolas G.">

I have improved KWord's OOWriter export.

It can do a few basic things: text, formattings, some fields (including 
hyperlinks) and pictures.

This is more or less what I can do without big modifications. I consider this 
status acceptable for KOffice 1.3.

It will depend on Lukas if this filter will be in Beta 2.

Please test the filter and give feedback!

For now, I am going to try to fix the bugs of the (other) export filters of 
KWord.


Have a nice 
day!

While his last comment is generally a good idea - you might want to try
these filters yourself but don't know 
<a href="http://developer.kde.org/source/anoncvs.html">
how to get them with CVS</a>. Well, you can
get them with the recently released 
<a href="http://dot.kde.org/1056044540/">KOffice Beta 2</a>.
