[GSoC] [KDE-Edu][KHangMan] Short note about evolution of KHangMan - undocumented features

Thursday, 15 July 2010
The tasklist I submit to Google was very realistic, but don't know I why didn't suppose to meet any small bugs need to be solved. Almost all the Community Bonding Period I spent on setting developers environment. Newest Qt, Phonon, DCOP, ... , KDE-Edu. Then, once I compiled everything and I had hoped that everything is fine. Some hours of sleep and then great crash. KDE couldn't start. I was trying under Debian, Kubuntu and Mandriva. Same effect. Over three weeks of downloading, compiling, installing new distros etc... Endly, with help of Anne-Marie and #kde-devel Community I found out I could solve it. They provided me a solution to configure my environment easy and effortless. Huh, thanks! When coding period began I was ready to work. Beginnings are hard. Read More

recent releases: openSUSE 11.3 and Anna 1.0

Thursday, 15 July 2010
Today openSUSE 11.3 is released, concluding 8 months of intense and enjoyable work. This release has been especially enjoyable for me, as it was the first openSUSE release where the community KDE team really took the driving seat and made decisions about what to include, updated packages and intensively tested. Instead of just being a slave to a feature list this release, I was more occupied in enabling, advising and reviewing others' contributions. I'd like to say "Excellent work!" to the whole openSUSE team here in Nuremberg, Prague, the rest of Novell and to every openSUSE contributor who has tested milestones, reported bugs, learned how to use osc and

Tuesday, 13 July 2010
In case you use Icecream (the distributed compile system which makes your coworkers' machines compile KDE for you :)) and happen to be using a glibc >= 2.11.2, you might notice that you are not able to send compilation jobs to other machines while still being visible to the scheduler and receiving jobs from other hosts.

Elegant (!) way to have them both

Sunday, 4 July 2010
Do you remember the tabbed toolbar thing that was once born in Kexi? It's an attempt to optimize the UI when collection of actions depends on context. This part of development goes well, even while there is no framework for use by other KDE 4 apps. Those still use the KDE 3 technology, i.e. KXMLGUI leading to rather big menus. Read More
