The problem i see with doing the touch interfaces for Qt thing at this sprint would be that that's really a Plasma Active topic, and they already host several sprints over the course of the year. Hence why i suggested this sprint be about building the Qt Library Archive. Note that this is not about Qt itself, this is specifically about the stuff that /doesn't/ fit into Qt proper - things like Gluon's OpenAL wrapper library and other similar things. Hope that clears up that little misunderstanding a touch. -- ..Dan // Leinir.. http://leinir.dk/ Co- existence or no existence - Piet Hein -- Mark Kretschmann Amarok Developer, Senior Software Engineer at Nokia Fellow of the Free Software Foundation Europe http://amarok.kde.org - http://fsfe.org - http://nokia.com _______________________________________________ Amarok-devel mailing list Amarok-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok-devel
