KDE4 Version of Digikam Photo Management Available
,----[ Quote ]
| Photographers in the Free world rejoice! On behalf of the Digikam developer
| team, Gilles Caullier has announced the first KDE 4 release of Digikam, the
| photo management application.
|
| Digikam is a full-fledged tool that covers the whole digital photography
| workflow, from downloading the pictures off of your camera (and in the new
| version even capturing photos from inside digikam) to sorting, editing,
| rating and tagging (including geolocation and editing of raw photos in the
| new version) and of course also publishing your photos.

Why I prefer KDE over GNOME
,----[ Quote ]
| Some will say, “Well, KDE also forced a dumbed down KDE 4.0 onto the masses”.
| But, that is not really the case. The KDE developers were very clear in
| saying that KDE 4.0 was not intended for the public at large. It was meant
| for *developers*. If there are any options still missing in KDE 4.2 it is
| not due to a desire to artificially limit the number of options. It is
| simply a matter of not being able to incorporate them yet. The KDE
| developers attitude is clearly very different from the one I have experienced
| in the GNOME world. I feel like the KDE developers want to empower me while
| the GNOME developers want to restrict me.

KDE 4.2 brings the MySQL server to the desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| If you’re using Fedora 10, and are a KDE desktop user, you’ll notice that
| your latest KDE 4.2 update, requires having a local MySQL server installed.
| This is due to Akonadi, part of the KDE PIM packages, that now rely on MySQL
| as a default server, for storing PIM data. Just a few months ago, I mentioned
| the news that Amarok 2 will also use MySQL as a default database.

KDE 4.1 delivers a next-gen desktop Linux experience
,----[ Quote ]
| Although the weaknesses of the flawed 4.0 release provoked widespread
| criticism from users, version 4.1 is so polished that it feels like a
| completely different piece of software. This version truly delivers on KDE's
| promise of a next-generation Linux desktop environment, and it completes the
| foundation for a strong 4.x series.

Shuttleworth has some nice words for KDE
,----[ Quote ]
| Is Mr Ubuntu, Mark Shuttleworth, slowly warming towards KDE? Or is the man
| merely trying to keep the KDE folk onside, after a whole host of "technical
| writers" have attacked the new release of that desktop environment?
|
| [...]
|
| Given the amount of flak that the recent KDE release - 4.0 - has taken from
| the pro-GNOME pundits at sites like linux.com, you would think that the worst
| possible thing any supporter of GNOME - as Shuttleworth is perceived to be -
| could do is to speak out in support of anything associated with KDE.
|
| But you would be wrong. Shuttleworth is now floating the idea that there can
| be a QT-based GNOME.
