changes to konqueror ark plugin submenu
by Michele Calgaro 29 May '18

29 May '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Dear all, the "compress as" submenu in Konqueror is going to have some minor rework. We are changing the default compression format from gz to xz and enabling jar format (which could be useful for java programmers). We would like to remove lzma from that menu since we think it is not widely used anymore (the format would still be available through the "Add to archive" entry). Any objection on this last point before we proceed? thanks Michele -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEjhl1z5vbYB3YbFTiKnW3yore1c8FAlsNB/QACgkQKnW3yore 1c9MBg/+Nr+hMbtK7EE/F+B010HlOm8bDKN9ivSkVY6+hCqG6MAXIZtBJjACLsKo i84yChQnehPaL2pSNEY83MIguRN9FFVxHtgw3gNOkAU1zqnLPTZw4ug963aPBT6Q L4tf0CHjdFehaNBPLbKF3GfuAHzqC+VjRKTwVurXw9bXzLOCAie/ABdZbz3INYBo y8ATRbiyRlr3oGaaujIXoQkj7I2q5a7nw9DFFL1UhncgxLbnRSWgo8ttXfM+nkgx 7gp/5KHH6DucWWBPnY1m6KsRB5DpprRVHKg5krtD/sln59XvXK92CmzvMRyieH2M 8DNCrePSVEHiaFRDPM1LjRT9ntEMeaWTbpaGUdgHsYgnUbGsbG+asHz+NEwEjvSE LkRGDof2lVGfiQLjRxpP2JZ1uVaTyXQv9+yByj7A77f9jTylXju6dNVegvnPWnBP NZ8MWB2Q3TztPWyLS3NeSJHX6XLfBDj3Iw9gbXg6KRATnJLuw1M/3N6Lldnw6dwp TZtuHXOLacbt1XQDt/MuL1HjFQK5Xsech1ZyDktW74HLWGqGO8ZLTPfWp074YBBK sdGp/8UQVRo84Za9Wz8TYxJJBobwBcHoxLFdDNzjomEtf12HcLfnhk23x3oooJ51 kEsNrjJ/BiZg7iKB+888qER3U1y5Hq6l5moA0nIit1cxy8UvwKY= =fjkJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

The projects fatal mistake
by wofgdkncxojef 29 May '18

29 May '18

The projects fatal mistake, is to think, that only the next bug fix matters. All social aspects are ignored. Proof of that, is that you even refuse to move the user mailing list to an official reddit. The easiest thing to do, and still considered not worth the trouble. regards

What a trinity leader should have done.
by wofgdkncxojef＠gmail.com 28 May '18

28 May '18

1. Shut down the user mailing list, and drag you kicking and screaming, to an official reedit 2. Shut down the git repo, and drag you kicking and screaming to github. 3. Impose renaming as top priority, and a split in several categories. With main, of guaranteed minimum quality. 4. Bend over backwards, so that trinity is accepted in Debian. All this, is just to increase exposire of the project. You have to go, where people are. This way, you get more users and devs. Instead, every one here, only see's the very short term. Literally, just the next patch. This can not be done, without some one in charge.....

proposal to change project leader
by wofgdkncxojef＠gmail.com 28 May '18

Yes, this is a coup.... Well, i don't think i'm saying anything controversial, when i'm saying that pearson has no time for trinity, and the project is effectively leaderless. From the perspective of an outsider (me), Slavek seams the most invested in the project.... Maybe he should be in charge.

Renaming and split in to official and extra
by wofgdkncxojef＠gmail.com 27 May '18

Ok, everyone listen. I'm proposing to split the programs, in official trinity and extra. The list of official packages should be restricted. They should be of good enough quality and as a whole should be close to the functionality of DE like MATE and xfce. The devs should decide upon the list, and then make sure they maintain their quality. They should be renamed, with proper names, not kdename-trinity, and pulled out of opt. In extra will be everything else. The idea is, for the official part to be more appealing to distros. If trinity get's in to distros, it will have more exposure and get more devs. an initial proposal of what the official packages could be: all the base system and libs of course kdesktop, kicker, tdenetwork manager, tdm, kmix, klipper, control center, dolphin, kwrite, kmail, kwallet, kaffeine, konsole, amarok, kalculator, gwenview, ark, kpdf other?. konqueror is not good enough for a default file manager because of it's outdated web browsing component. all the above should get proper names, not kdename-trinity and moved out of opt. Even the libs, should be renamed something like trinity libs, not tqt. The stuff in extra can stay in opt as it is. And don't forget, the quality of what will be in the list must stay good enough, you can't just shove everything. Once the list will be desided, then it will need to be decided how to rename them. The whole point of this, is to have something nice, the distros can accept taking in. They should not see "Konqueror-trinity" that can't render facebook or youtube. The whole point of getting accepted by distros, is so that the project gets more exposure and hence more devs.

proposal, move to github
by wofgdkncxojef＠gmail.com 26 May '18

I'm proposing to move to github. Not for technical reasons. Github is the facebook of open source. Been there, should attract more devs.... Moving the code will be simple enough. The bugs however will not be straight forward....

proposal for a new strategy
by wofgdkncxojef＠gmail.com 26 May '18

26 May '18

I hope i'll get more responces then usual. -_- If no one responds, a kitten will die. I think trinity doesn't has much of a strategy. Here some ideas ---------------------------------------------- trinity would be split in to two parts 1.trinity proper This will be a relatively restricted set of important components of high quality. This will be a bit like other normal DE, like xfce and mate. For example, it will have the libs, kdesktop, kicker, tdm, konsole, amarok, kaffeine, dolphin, klipper etc... See restricted, important and high quality. 2. trinity extra apps Here goes everything else trinity proper will be given priority in fixing bugs. Also, all of trinity proper would be properly renamed and moved out of opt. for example tqt becomes trinity libs, konsole becomes trinity terminal or something like that. See proper names, not kdename-trinity. Then, an attempt would be made, to push trinity proper to debian. And from there it would move up ubuntu. Trinity will get more exposure, more users and more bug fixes, including for trinity extra apps. For the extra apps, users would use an extra repo like now. The names can stay "kdename-trinity" or be fully renamed. And the quality maters less. At some unspecified time in the future, apps from here will be moved to trinity proper. -------------------------------- an other idea would be, to move the code to github Not for technical reasons. Many developers are already there. This will increase the probability that the project will get more exposure and devs.
