Who is the KDE Foundation Developer ? Is it me ? :-) I developed this library
some time ago. Since then, I haven't touched it much. Probably because nobody
is using it...
Is there any interest in the KFC ?
The KFC currently contains:
- multithreading
- dynamic loading of classes
- concurreny control (mutex, condition, ...)
- OMG-like event system (could be changed to the Qt event model).
Any ideas, suggestions ?
