Inclusion in > the KDE Applications bundle may not be a panacea, but how else are > maintainerless/community-maintained apps supposed to get released? That's a good question. In the past few applications have found a new maintainer "out of the blue" and got a release. Some of them opted for joining KDE Applications (but only after getting a maintainer, not before), other did not. >From a community point of view, an interesting effort - which would require a new team and, more important, new coordinator, has been the KDE Gardening Project: https://community.kde.org/Gardening (k3b was not part of KDE Applications at that time but regardless of that it had a bunch of bugs that required some fixes). On the other hand I'd like to mention that the last two applications that have been proposed (not by their maintainer) to join KDE Applications do have maintainers (keurocalc and yakuake). -- Luigi

I had a bit of time to look into it, and it looks like audex is in a better state and it has seen some activity from Heiko in the last few months which kind of de facto makes him maintainer. ;-) Since I'd rather we have one project with a team size > 1 that two with a team size of 1, I'll retract my previous offer of reviving kaudiocreator and turn my attention to audex instead. Hopefully we can get it out of playground and into KDE Applications. Regards. -- Kevin Ottens, http://ervin.ipsquad.net signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
