Code Statistics: KDE Costs 175 Million Dollars

,----[ Quote ]
| The official KDE Project currently 
| consists of 4.2 million lines of code. 
| Cornelius Schumacher has applied the lines 
| to individual projects and published the 
| stats.
| 
| The current source code of the KDE core 
| module contains 4,273,291 lines exactly, 
| reports Schumacher in his blog. Almost 
| half the lines are taken by the three 
| largest projects, kdebase, kdelibs and 
| kdepim. The KDE-Edu team takes fourth 
| place in the code stakes followed by 
| kdebinding and network modules.

KDE Community Forums Celebrate Their First Birthday

,----[ Quote ]
| Exactly one year ago, on October 12th, the 
| KDE Community Forums were founded. It was 
| about time to give users a place for 
| discussion and support beside the mailing 
| lists, which were mainly used by 
| developers and other contributors. A lot 
| of time has passed since then, and the 
| forums have grown into a healthy 
| community, contributing to the KDE 
| landscape as a whole. Here people can ask 
| KDE-related questions, help other users, 
| find useful information, or just discuss 
| whatever comes to mind.

Get Things Done Faster With Kupfer 

,----[ Quote ]
| Kupfer is a launcher inspired by 
| quicksilver. It allows you to use 
| keystrokes to rapidly perform tasks such 
| as launching applications, manipulating 
| files and data and running scripts. 
| Kupfer's philosophy is simplicity, speed 
| and usability. It is written in Python and 
| has a flexible plugin architecture.

KDE 4.3: Boom baby!

,----[ Quote ]
| Stability has gradually improved to the point where
| I no longer have any problems at all. KDE boots
| fast and without issue. Applications donât crash,
| except for the printer applet after one update,
| which was immediately remedied in the next. Kwin
| effects are fast and leave no artifacts. KDE 4 is
| stable.
|
| Configuration-wise, things have improved too.
| Config options have treacled back into KDE 4, and
| while it still might not be up to the standard set
| by its predecessor, itâs getting there.
