Dear fellow Qt/KDE team members, inspired by what Cyril Brulebois'' DXN posts about news in the X world, I was wondering whether we wouldn''t want the same for Qt/KDE? I''d volunteer to write these news, but would rely on you to point me to interesting bits and pieces (if you have some polished text ready, I won''t complain ;) ), just drop me a note at [0] and it''ll be part of the next news post. As Cyril I''d post this on my blog (available at [1]), which is planet.d.o syndicated and should reach a lot of people. Let me know whether you find this a good idea or not. If the general opinion is in favour I''d start the series with a post about dhmk and getting rid of Qt3 in a few days, if you have other stuff you''d like to see in that post, write to [0]. If the majority of you think this is a bad idea, I won''t proceed.

I used to help her in tiny bits, but I never got to "get my hands dirty enough" so as to be able to track the important things. I think that it''s a great idea to do this kind of communication. Consider also bloging about the removal of kdelibs4c2a, I may give you a hand on that (although I''m currently very busy, but I''ll do my best).

This should be done via a mail to debian-devel@ although you can of course blog after that! I am planning to do a blog post about the kdelibs removal once arts is out with some numbers. But it won''t be in the next 2 weeks. Ana

That it was going to be given up for adoption was clear to me, even though I agree, that my initial wording wasn''t clear on this. And I never intended to replace the official announcement (O: mail) to debian-devel. I thought of it more as a wider-audience heads-up, maybe even reaching some upstream developers of (scientific) applications and getting them to switch to Qt4.> I am planning to do a blog post about the kdelibs removal once arts is out > with some numbers. But it won''t be in the next 2 weeks.If you already blog about (all) this, no need for me to do it too. I was just missing some semi-regular KDE/Qt news on p.d.o to give the KDE/Qt stuff some more visibility. But since Lisandro already pointed out, that you do/did these kind of things, I''ll defer to you. Let me know, by when you would need the piece about dhmk to be included in your post and I see what I can do.

Thus I won''t proceed with my idea and focus on passing bits and pieces for inclusion in such posts on to her.

I barely have followed the KDE packaging lately and I am not planning to blog about this.
