Hi all,
[For the sake of sanity, please reply to both list, this topic affects
applications and Plasma.]
One of the topics we are discussing at the current Plasma sprint is
whether we
really want khelpcenter as part of the Plasma releases in the future.
Some
data points:
- khelpcenter is unmaintained, it has seen a rough port to KF5, but
has
otherwise seen zero love, this shows
- just dropping it would mean that the user gets sent to a webpage
containing
the latest version of the documentation, so khelpcenter's usecase is
actually just being an offline cache, fallback mechanism are already
in place
- said user documentation is spotty, this is only semi-related, but
still
doesn't exactly make a strong case for keeping it
- it uses KHTML
A casual poll among developers here at the sprint reveals that ~70%
would
rather see it gone from Plasma, the rest abstains. Nobody from my
(admittedly
small) sample really wants to keep it.
Killing it could mean that we remove it entirely (to unmaintained), or
if
anybody is interested in maintaining it making it part of
Applications, or
Extragear.
Let's seriously think about dropping it from Plasma 5.7 and onwards.
If
anybody is hell-bent on keeping it, this person should consider
maintaining it
as well. Unmaintained code in Plasma is not cool, and so far nobody
seems to
care enough to step up.
Cheers,

Hi,
Just of curiosity, what is the next thing, after documentation (as
Plasma almost does not have it), to get rid from Plasma? Is it
Okular, Krusader, something else? Just to make simple, sleek and
unintrusive.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Neither Okular, nor Krusader are part of Plasma. So what is that? Trying
to create a flamewar?
This is highly non-constructive, highly disrespectful towards the
developers caring about our user experience. This is absolutely not
acceptable.
Seriosuly pissed
Martin
