Hi there... I follow DigiKam development too. They were not too happy with the release schedule in some situations, as they were still doing rapid development on the kipi-plugins which is a part of KDE now, and did not get released till months later, whereby holding back releases of the main package.
Kdenlive seems to have a slower release cycle, so it might be better suited to the KDE release cycle. -Evert- On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 1:34 PM, Simon Eugster <simon...@gmail.com> wrote: > 2010/8/29 Markus Slopianka <marku...@kdemail.net>: >> Hi. >> I gave it a few thoughts and I think Kdenlive should apply to become a KDE >> Extragear >> application. >> So far I can't think of any counter arguments but the pro arguments to the >> status quo are > > No obligations? > >> IMO: >> >> 1.)
