Development environment

Finally got a working development set up for KDE4 again so porting of MateEdit can now start in earnest. It is back to the drawing board first though to get acquainted with all the new goodies kdelibs and friends before any serious porting can start. I am quite excited about getting into it and finding out what to expect with the shiny new 4.

Once that is out of the way I will have to start writing up some of the research results that have been accumulating here. After all it should be able to build on (or upon) a collaborative editing library to satisfy the needs of more than one application. Really can't wait to get going with this again, it has been a while.

Do I need to tell you how excited your blog post does make me? mateedit did look soooo promising a start to have.

With this technology going into kdelibs to make it available for more than one application is really the coolest thing to have.

Will this work for text-based editing only (including apps like Quanta), or will it also work for "image editors" (such as Krita) and spreadsheets (KSpread)?

Lovely, man, really cool. I hope you can get this working... KOffice wanted colaborative editing, but the SoC project didn't work out (the student bailed out, actually). So I hope you can do a better job at this ;-)

I guess you should see if you can work with Decibel & friends. Contact Tobias Hunger if you have questions, he's a nice guy and will certainly be able and willing to answer all questions.

Does it use the obby library?
