From kde-kimageshop Fri Nov 17 19:13:30 2000 From: John Califf Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2000 19:13:30 +0000 To: kde-kimageshop Subject: Hello - I'm your new Krayon maintainer X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-kimageshop&m=97449288405742 Sorry about tardiness in joining this list, but I've been the Krayon maintainer for the past 2 months. The project is now in a very stable and usable state - quite impressive. What's in koffice cvs is not what it was, though the basic infrastructure and engine has been maintained. Of course many features are missing yet, and you will find bugs. But no showstoppers any more. I've made two big commits over the past 45 days which fixed the worst bugs and implemented many incomplete or missing features. You can load and save in native format, import and export, etc. Please refer to my posts at koffice and koffice-dev on these matters. One thing I'd like to do is to update the KImageshop web page at koffice.org to reflect the current state of the project and the current participants and contacts. We could use a few more coders and at least one primary documentation writer. I'd be happy to update the web page myself within the next week, but the person responsible for the entire koffice site should be involved in maintaining it or at least approving changes made. If you are at all interested in a great painting app in the making for kde and koffice then compile the code from kde cvs (main branch) or the snapshots and give krayon (kimageshop) a try. Please post any changes you intend to make to the code here for discussion first. I will also do the same with any changes I propose from now on, giving others a chance to comment and make improvements. If you don't have cvs write access and want to work on the code I can commit things for you or you can ask Stephan Kulow for access. I had previously posted notices at koffice because that list was more active, and krayon is a koffice app. But, I think the project will attract a lot of interest soon and I really should give this list a chance to become more active. I'll be making a big announcement at kdedot.org (the news site) early next week, before Thanksgiving, and also posting screenshots and blurbs at my web site: http://users.compuzone.net/jcaliff/ Check the site around Monday and you'll be impressed. These screenshots really should go at the koffice site but it may take a while for the koffice site to get updated, etc. Any comments, suggestions, and gripes are welcome. But direct involvement is best. We also need suggestions from artists and other potential users who are not coders. Thank you, John Califf _______________________________________________ Kimageshop mailing list Kimageshop@master.kde.org http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kimageshop
