Hi, given the relatively low traffic on the mailing list, I'm posting the status of ktechlab and my plans for the future, in order to keep everybody updated.
Current status: - I'm focusing on the port of version 0.3.8 to KDE4/Qt4; it is mostly usable now. In the TODO file there is a list of things I want to go through, then I want to make a(n alpha) release. The code is here: https://github.com/ktechlab/ktechlab/tree/port-0.3.8-kde4-v1 - the first attempty on KDE4 port, with KDevPlatform, is in "maintenance" mode now from my point of view, this means that I want to keep it compiling and running with newer libraries/KDE. I'm not planning to complete it soon, because I estimate the required effort to the order of several man-moonths. This codebase is in the master branch on github: https://github.com/ktechlab/ktechlab/tree/master - The codebases for ktechlab 0.3 and the suspended 0.4 series are now in the same git repository; this is convenient. My plans are the following: - as soon as I manage to do it, I want to get some preview release out from the port-0.3.8-kde4-v1 branch, and then periodically creating preview releases until every (observed) bug is fixed - after the 0.3.8 KDE4 port is done, I want to target Qt5, again with porting, in order to avoid depending on obsolete libraries. Fortunately the current round of distributions with long-term-support include Qt4, but most probably at some point Qt4 will be abandoned. - in parallel with Qt5 porting, I want to maintain the Qt4 port, mostly with bugfixes - in parallel with all the technical part, I'm planning to do a checklist, and then contact KDE for KTechLab becoming a KDE project. I think this will be beneficial for KTechLab as a project. I assume that KDE Science and KDE Edu are closest to KTechLab. I highly appreciate any feedback on anything, especially about the last item from my plans. I have written about KTechLab joining KDE about half a year ago, and then I have got no response; by default I will assume that if nobody has anything against it, I will go ahead, and keep the list posted.
