create an OpenSolaris KDE project
Thanks, Roland. You have seconds. I'll contact you offline to get you set up.

Following the official proposal guidelines, I'd like to take this
opportunity to propose that we collaborate with the KDE e.V. and
kde-core-devel in order to integrate KDE as an OpenSolaris project
Ok, lets refine this proposal:
1. Deliver KDE3 to /usr/kde3/ and reserve /usr/kde4/ for KDE version 4.
No /opt/blabal or /usr/sfw/junkblabla
2. Ship a Sun/Solaris-branded KDE which uses the default SuSE Linux 10
configuration as default (e.g. things like emacs-like input/edtor modes
for widgets, enable the klipper clipboard tool by default etc.) to
increase interoperability+productivity.
3. The package should be named SUNWkde* (where '*' means the suffix for
the packages) and targets delivery into Solaris 11.
4. The KDE should focus on a lightwheight default configuration with a
upper limit of 128MB per user (better would be 64MB if possible ; this
excludes larger applications like OpenOffice, Konqueror,
Mozilla/Seamonkey (see below)) and a strong focus on office usage
5. Focus on a compact and stable distribution which matches more or less
the pieces shipped in SuSE Linux (for interoperability)
6. The distribution should be compiled with the Sun Studio compilers (as
a mandatory requirement for the project). No gcc junk.
7. Consider using Mozilla/Seakmoney instead of Thunderbird/FireFox (for
the simple reason that the Gecko engine is very memory hungry and
running it twice, one for time FireFox and a 2nd time for ThunderBird is
IMHO excessive squandering of memory resources).

Bye,
