Hi. I gave it a few thoughts and I think Kdenlive should apply to become a KDE Extragear application. So far I can't think of any counter arguments but the pro arguments to the status quo are IMO: 1.) Documentation. Unilike WikiBooks KDE's UserBase is meant to be used with applications. The KDE team is currently in the process (mostly finished already, btw) to auto-generate DocBooks for offline use and try to fit it as smoothly as possible into KDE's automated translation workflow. 2.) KDE's automated translation workflow. 'Scripty' generates new translation templates automatically and also updates existing translations with new strings etc. KDE's existing translation teams could take also look over Kdenlive. Existing Kdenlive translators can continue to maintain it. 3.) git. KDE is setting up its own git infrastructure. Kdenlive could use it (in the past SVN was the only option which made some projects migrate away from KDE servers and other projects not become part of the KDE Family in the first place. 4.) KDE's SysAdmin Team. Forums, git server, translation work flow, etc. are maintained by a dedicated team -- taking load from the shoulders of the ones maintaining Kdenlive's own forum. 5.) Increased visibility via news posts on dot.kde.org. If interested, I could establish the connections between you guys and the right people on the KDE side. Markus |
