How do I know if I have thick enough skin to be a library maintainer? :) Anyone want to volunteer to be a mentor for me? I disagree that it would be the same amount of work, but I'm willing to do the extra... A couple of items quickly come to mind: * I barely know how to release an application. Library release and maintenance brings additional needs (binary compatibility, soname management, etc.) about which I barely know enough to know that I don't know. * Konqueror is unmaintained. Should libkonq even be a separate release? Bringing in the small amount of code from libkonq/favicons to KIO seems like a feasible approach. I'm willing to test and fix bugs there, too. * Is this the appropriate mailing list for the discussion or should it go to kde-frameworks-devel? Robby
