 I just dumplicate the mail and add some more pics :)
Moved to kdereview/plasma/applets/
It's mainly an applet for input methods, so that persons use difference input methods can share the same user interface and the unified systemsettings input method configure integration.
And also include a standalone application and a control module for systemsettings now.
Its main features:
- Multiple backend support, currently support SCIM and IBus(1.1.0+ version)
- Able to float out and embbed into panel dynamically, The floating statusbar(a qwidget) is just a view on the same qgraphicswidget.
- Skin support:
- You can choose the skin to follow current plasma theme, then it will auto switch skin when user change plasma theme.
- Use custom theme, support install theme from Get Hot New Stuff
- Internally use javascript to layout svg, enable the abilities to do adaptive svg layout and "theme" the layout.
- KCModule based configure, config pages for ui, backends are combined to one dialog.
- Provide a standalone version with floating statusbar only if you don't want to add the applet to panel.
Its design is simple, just provide a dbus service for input ...read more...

| Now that the KDE Brainstorm has been launched, it’s time to take a look at the results so far. Currently, the forum hosts 160 threads, approximately one for each idea, and 441 posts. Not bad for the first two days of operation. At the same time, the staff has been working hard to make sure only appropriate ideas (not bug reports, not duplicates…) are on the forum. People have also begun voting, although slowly: it’s understandable, given the fact that there are so many threads in so little time. There are still some issues here and there. We understand that right now you’re forced to take a look at each thread to see the votes, but our plugin guru sayakb is currently working into that: hopefully you’ll see votes next to threads very soon! Remember, your input is also important to improve Brainstorm, so make sure you let us know if you find a bug or have any request. I’m satisfied, so far. It clearly shows that there was a need to request features (also shown ...read more...

| Just wanted to drop a quick post about a really quick coding project (ie. 5 minutes) to incorporate a very simple Remember The Milk plasmoid for KDE 4.2.x. I utilized the Google Gadget GTalk code and just very easily implemented the RTM gadget. It works well, it just doesn’t have all of the functionality of other RTM clients. There is a full-blown RTM plasmoid coming soon, but I couldn’t wait and needed something right now. So if you are interested in using it, you can get the tarball over at KDE-Look.org, or if you need Kubuntu installs, both Intrepid and Jaunty, hit up my PPA.

An Australian company called Kogan (www.kogan.com.au) is preparing to launch its own netbook into the market.
These devices will come shipped with the Ubuntu based gOS. Its good to see that they're not dictated by Microsoft here.
The thing that caught my eye though, was that they said they had also tested other systems on their laptop and were offering to install them if the user wanted. One of the things they listed was KDE4 - amongst all the other Operating Systems they were mentioning. Odd, but hey - they must think its cool!
KDE4 is mentioned at the bottom of this article: Australia's Cheapest Netbook
The specs of the laptop are actually pretty good. The only thing I would say is that they're using a regular HDD, not SSD.
All things considered, its good to see a company of Kogan's size actively push Open Source (and particlarly, KDE4!) into the public's eye. I would be interested to see how these netbooks perform in the real world.

| It's in kdeplasma-addons now will be part of KDE 4.3. For those who can't wait we have released version 0.6 for KDE 4.2. I encourage developers to get their hands dirty and make it look even better. Another idea is to automatically use the plasma colors so it visually integrates better into the desktop. It's more than good enough though, as it has all the features of KDE3's System Monitor and some more (like support for showing all CPUs' usage). Have fun :)

| Mtux, of choqok fame, along with another person, has written Bilbo Blogger, a blogging utility for Blogger or any blog that supports Blogger1.0, MetaWeblog and MovableType APIs. It is based on the KDE4 libraries and it includes a WYSIWYG editor, an HTML editor, and a Post Preview function that can even fetch your blog’s CSS to render the entry and see how it looks. It’s not released yet, but for the daring, you can actually try and compile it. You need to check out and install the blogging library (BlboKBlog) first:
git clone git://gitorious.org/bilbokblog/mainline.git bilbokblog
cd bilbokblog
mkdir build; cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ../
make
followed by make install as root or using sudo. Then, you need to check out the actual application:
git clone git://gitorious.org/bilbo/mainline.git bilbo
cd bilbo
mkdir build; cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ../
make
Again, a make install will do the trick. After that, you can start the application and create a new blog (see the ...read more...

| One of the comments on my last blog post suggested that the improved community work was caused by contributors being more focused on their own apps. This, to me, suggests that, implicitly, the community is reliant on some "expert" coordinators between apps during this time. This suggestion came from SSJ and, I think, was spot on.  This plot gives an indication of how focused KDE contributors are. Again, you must forgive me for not providing the precise measure; I still don't want to bias your views. In this plot, counter-intuitively (sorry), lower scores show more-focused development. So, a couple of things to note: - I have finally learned how to get GNUPlot to put dates on the x-axis!
- The general trend has been for KDE contributors to become less focussed as the project has grown. That is, the average contributor is (partially) responsible for more artefacts in SVN over time.
- There are notable dips in this plot, just at the end of 2001 and a big one in 2007. These ...read more...

| This post will be short, I’m tired. One of the common feature requests was to make the categories shown in the applet customizable - that is, to have the possibility to choose which categories are shown. Well, starting from the current SVN version, you can. If you don’t use the contacts or documents section, just don’t show them. You could make it show only the applications section thus making Lancelot more simple and more ‘traditional’. Mind that this only affects the launcher applet itself, when the categories are shown inside it, and not the menu. In other news… … a couple of insects known as bugs were squashed, and VIDE the Vim IDE is progressing nicely - I’ve moved Lancelot development away from the Project.vim plugin and similar and started using only Vide plugins…   ![]( "Ivan Cukic (ivan): For simpler Lancelot, just choose the categories you want") ...read more...

| One of the main goals of KDE 4 was to improve the user experience. We knew that to succeed in the desktop market KDE doesn’t have to be just powerful, fast and good looking, but it also needs to be easy to understand and user friendly. It has to give a great user experience.  KDM 4.2.1 login dialog After a KDE based linux distribution is installed, the first thing the user will use is KDM, KDE’s login manager. Unfortunately, not much work has been done on KDM in terms of usability and interaction. Since we are already very well covered on Oxygen icons, I decided to make an effort to try to understand what are the major KDM problems and how they could be solved. The scenario for the following considerations it’s a fresh Kubuntu installation with KDE 4.2.1 installed as default.

| KDE has long had a nice collection of useful kioslaves for viewing installed documentation, including viewers for manpages and info pages (used by GNU software). For KDE 4.2 I had introduced another viewer, this time for Perl’s perldoc documentation, which used a look similar to the appearance at www.kde.org. At the same time I had ported kio_man, the manpage viewer to have a similar appearance. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to also do likewise for kio_info, the info page viewer. That has now been rectified, as seen in the following image, which shows output from all 3 documentation filters:  At the same time I factored out the CSS into a common docfilter CSS suite, so that any improvements should fix all the docfilter-type KIOSlaves at once.

| Having just moved to a new place (Helsinki) I don't really have that much to do yet. So what do I do on a Sunday afternoon? Lazy programming - that's what! The goal: To have facebook on my screen saver. The result: Any iPhone page on your screensaver. Why? Because it's so much easier/faster to write than an actual facebook applet. What is it? It's a QWebView that identifies itself as an iPhone, placed on Plasma. Configurable with different "phone themes", and select any page you want. Where to get it? It's in SVN, under the plasma applets in Playground as kPhone 
Have fun, and let me know what you think! :) Youtube Link - click here!

Dear lazyweb, please prove me wrong.
I've been having a quick look at how NetworkManager is implemented and from what i see the public DBUS API is only for querying, not editing there. The edition of new networks et al is to be provided by a separate NetworkManager service that has no common API. This has two consequences to me:
* Users that edit/create connections under KDE don't see them under Gnome/Xfce/wathever and viceversa
* You can not write a desktop agnostic program that needs to modify/create networks as you don't know who you have to talk to <-- This is specially ugly

Does
%d / %d is %f" % (num1, num2, float(num1)/num2)
have any (dis)advantages over
%d / %d is %f" % (num1, num2, float(num1)/float(num2))
? Both work. If one number is a float both are treated as a float, as far as I know.
Does the first line have any (technical) disadvantages over the second?

| The last couple of days I've been working on http://docs.kde.org. It was needed because it was dated, the documentation that was available there came from old KDE branches. Also the scripts contained several errors which caused the documentation not to be generated due to missing entities and stuff. I also made the pdf creation work again and made sure the search works again. All minor issues, the main point I wanted to make is that the site is now actively maintained again, this time by the sysadmin-group. So, if something is wrong, just file a bug when you want an extra module on the left or an important language is missing or you find dead links or whatever. I've also re-added the site to svn, so you can make changes yourself too. Enjoy the updated site!

| Some of you may have read about the protests of returning troops to England from Iraq last week. They were greeted by a friendly welcome by the majority with a minority holding signs describing them as “Butchers” and “Terrorists“. I read this and felt torn. On one hand the protesters are voicing their complaints against the British Army’s part in death of thousands of civilians. On the other hand they are raising the issue in a hugely polarising way which probably does more damage to their cause than aid it. After this brief pondering I returned to my week. Over the following days the typical figureheads gave their sound-bites to the media about how awful this was and about how the protesters should be ashamed of themselves. Gordon Brown made one of his stereotypical comments, trying desperately to prove that he can do something right to a increasingly disappointed public. Basically, an fairly expected reaction. What was unexpected was today’s story about David Davis MP calling for it to become a ...read more...

Code Assistants
When developing for a statically typed language like C++, there usually is quite a bit of redundancy during the development, especially when creating a completely new piece of code. A powerful IDE with deep code understandic theoretically could save a significant amount of the writing work. My goal with KDevelop4 is to allow the user only to concentrate on the “content” of the code, without wasting too much time with creating or adapting declarations in several different places. To reach this goal, code-completion is not enough. Sometimes it is not possible to properly guess what the user wants to do during typing, but once a statement is completed, it becomes clear. Also the completion-list is not suitable as a user-interface for everything. During the last weeks I have implement an Assistant architecture within KDevelop. In general it is kind of similar to the bulbs or paperclips known from several office applications, with the main difference of actually bein useful.  An assistant can watch the happenings in the editor, duchain, ...read more...
