It would be nice, if we could improve the presentation of the

libraries along with the code. The goal of Inqlude is to make them

 easily

accessible not only to us, but also to Qt developers who don't
necessarily know anything about KDE or might have (more or less

 founded)

objections against using KDE libraries. To reach this we'll need to
present KF5 in a bit  more independent way, and make sure that each
library can stand on its own.
  
   Technically, this is the current focus. We're splitting kdelibs.
  
   As to communication, it probably needs a bit of boilerplate. (Which the
   bits I wrote don't contain purposefully.) Otherwise, you're right, we

 need

   to work on the presentation side here.
 
  IMO, if projects.kde.org would have the wiki enabled, the project pages

 there

  could be an easy way to have simple homepages for all the frameworks:
  https://projects.kde.org/projects/kdesupport/attica

 Due to maintenance and performance concerns, sysadmin would like to move
 away from Chiliproject.

 Oh, really ?
 What alternatives are you looking at ?
 Personally I like redmine/chili a lot.

Yep. At the moment there are no real contenders as such - which is why
it has not yet been replaced.
Phabricator is being monitored for progress on a blocking issue however.

The primary issues are those of performance (


 Enabling the wiki would complicate this when a
 replacement is found.

 It would also create competition with the main wikis.

 I don't think so.
 As Cornelius put it To reach this we'll need to present KF5 in a bit
 more independent way, and make sure that each library can stand on its own.
 IMO a kind of separate home page for each library is part of that.

Would something similar to the Manifesto site fit this?

You mean http://manifesto.kde.org ?
Are these plain html pages, or is it using some CMS or wiki ?

Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine with maintaining the information on Inqlude, 
so if there is a reference location somewhere else, I'll take care of keeping 
them in sync.

 Can I update the info on inqlude.org somehow, so we can ditch the wiki
 version?

You can easily update the information. There are instructions on the web site.

We could also think about some automation depending on where it is most 
convenient to maintain the reference data.

One way would be to include some machine-readable meta data in the git 
repository, so we could generate other representations from that, be it a 
dedicated web site or the info on Inqlude, or something different.

I think a critical look what exactly needs doing is needed. Probably Cornelius 
has more detailed ideas. Right?
