I pop over to http://www.mosfet.org from time to time to check out development of PixiePlus, Daniel Duley's KDE image displaying, organising and editing tool. Maybe people aren't aware of its existence or usefulness.
Mosfet's lack of understanding of how people work continues to astound. This is the guy who screwed up the KDE release plan by pulling his code just before a major KDE release; This is the guy who had his KDE CVS account pulled because he was abusing it; This is the guy who changed his licenses to QPL to stop KDE using his code; This is the guy who threw his toys out of the pram and said he wasn't going to work on Linux stuff any more; This is the guy who wiped his web site and left a terse note saying he was dumping his KDE development; and now this is the guy who's put out because his users have all buggered off. Amazing. Quite amazing...
There are SuSE-specific rpms to download at
PixiePlus only works with KDE3.0 (well, I assume so - the website doesn't make it at all clear if KDE2.2 is still supported), which many people haven't got to yet. KDE3.0 is less stable than KDE2.2, and is binary incompatible with most existing KDE programs. There are no killer features over 2.2 either, so I suspect many people are waiting for the 3.1 release, and will only go to that when they upgrade their Linux distro. I also notice there's no SuSE8.0 rpm of PixiePlus either, which is ironic since that's the only one which ships with KDE3.0. -- 12:24pm up 4 days, 4:39, 1 user, load average: 0.14, 0.11, 0.06
