Moin moin Vielleicht habt ihr ja Kommentare hierzu... Carsten ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [kde-edu]: [KDE4] Edu-Shell like Kontact Date: Thursday, 11. August 2005 05:58 pm From: Carsten Niehaus <cniehaus@kde.org> To: kde-edu@kde.org Hi Some of us will be in Malaga in about three month. This is at least Pino, Albert, Danny and myself. I would like to kick off a discussion about creating a KDE Edu-Shell for kdeedu just like Kontact. In Kontact, every app is a KPart (KMail is, KOrganizer is and so on). All apps can of course also be used standalone, eg. without starting the "pim-shell" kontact. In my idea, every application of kdeedu would become a KPart as well and the edu-shell (better names welcome ;-) would just be the glue. Advantages: - As KDE4/Qt4 will force us to change some internal things if we want or not this is a good time to make such a big step - The applications would appear (and actually be) much more integrated - "KDE-Edu" would have a new meaning just like Kontact was a *big* step for kdepim. KDE-Edu would mean: "The kde-suite created to help my children" or something like that Disadvantages: - Extra work required for KDE4 - The apps would become more complex internally as they would all need some magic of DCOP and KParts - Some of us have probably no idea how to use KParts and/or DCOP Some comments: * How often has it been discussed that we need something like "KMath" where all math-like-applications would be integrated into one big app. This is the chance, in my opinion. * I think Albert, Pino, Danny and myself could do quite a lot in Malaga to push this forward. As we have a good "archetype" (kdepim) it shouldn't be *that* difficult * This move could/should obsolete the current discussion on kde-core-devel Carsten -------------------------------------------------------
