Oyranos CMS is about preparing a release and then the existing KDE Color
Management panel will be ready to continue inclusion into KDE. I
appologies for the delay. The KDE Color Management panel or kolor-manager
in kde git provides a front end to the Oyranos API, including
configuration of settings and devices.
Peer reviewed ICC profile packages from well known sources are packaged
and prepared for use with Oyranos. Honestly, the colord profiles are
uncontroled altered from uncertain sources, falsely labled and
unfortunately buggy. While the colord author can nothing for bad
colourimetric quality, there was even after many warnings no attemt to
check their quality and fix the package. So many users are now exposed
to these profile sets.
colord as well as Oyranos are no guarantee for a colour managed desktop.
There is far more work involved, like creating cross desktop standards
and in parts cross OS recommendations, which I have put much work into.
And these conventions have to be transformed into code, which are
target at KDE and I helped with.
kind regards

GNOME has been a color managed desktop by default for two releases
now, and I deliberately designed colord to have an open Freedesktop
DBus API that could be used by both desktops. Really, KDE just has to
include a KCM module to do the 6 things on this list and also perhaps
include a simple control center panel to configure it.
Basically, I need a KDE dude. Of course, I can help quite a lot and
mentor the project, but I’ve never really coded Qt or C++ in anger, so
to speak. If you’re interested, I could maybe even set up a Google
summer of code place as well, although I’d prefer it to be an existing
person familiar with the KDE community so there is some ongoing
maintainer.
If anybody is interested, let me know and I’ll set up a meeting and we
can talk and discuss details. Thanks.
