As I have heard no feedback, I am confirming this withdrawal. I plan to remove 
all the KDE frameworks dependencies from the app and return it to a Qt-only 
state. (Again, I have absolutely nothing against KDE; I just don't think it 
makes sense for me to continue TotalReqall as a KDE project.) Furthermore, I 
will remove the KDE-contributed stuff from the app (mainly translations of the 
word "TotalReqall", along with a bit of CMake).


Thanks for your understanding.

Sincerely,
Loren

Subject: Potential withdrawal of TotalReqall from KDE 
 
Dear all:

As you may or may not recall (reqall, ha ha), I some months ago began the 
incubator process for my application TotalReqall. However, I feel that I am not 
up to providing the level of continuous maintenance that a KDE application 
would require. I tend to mainly work on the application when I am using it and 
find a bug. This level of work is fine for me, but would probably be 
unacceptable to any end users expecting KDE quality. Furthermore, I have not 
had anybody contribute to the project beyond translations and some help from 
Jonathan Riddell and Nicolas Fella on the CMake files for the project (thanks 
guys, I didn't really understand CMake at that point and I appreciated the 
help!). At this point, I believe that it would be best for all concerned if I 
would withdraw TotalReqall from KDE and maintain it under my personal GitHub or 
Gitlab account.

If anybody has any input on why I should not withdraw TotalReqall from KDE or 
would like to offer to take over active maintenance of the project, I'd be glad 
to hear your input. No pressure though :)

Sincerely,
Loren Burkholder

P.S. Keep up the great work, KDE is awesome! Just because I don't want to 
continue putting TotalReqall under KDE doesn't mean that I don't have a desire 
to contribute to KDE in the future!
