Build helpers in a form of cmake scripts are part of the KF5 product, if I understand correctly. That's good. Not sure it was already raised: even while having focus on traditional apps: - server software can act as enabler for some KDE apps. Any multi-user app is in this group (not that KDE rules this 'market', sure there can be improvements, who codes decides); - mobile/embedded software can be enabler for some KDE apps, e.g. think of 1. remote-controlling presentation software with a mobile/embedded app 2. remote-data-entry mobile app for an inventory management app/ (and KF5 can further grow by the way; it's exciting to see how KDE is rather good at making new frameworks this way!) > > _______________________________________________ > kde-community mailing list > kde-community@kde.org > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community -- regards, Jaroslaw Staniek KDE: : A world-wide network of software engineers, artists, writers, translators : and facilitators committed to Free Software development - http://kde.org Calligra Suite: : A graphic art and office suite - http://calligra.org Kexi: : A visual database apps builder - http://calligra.org/kexi Qt Certified Specialist: : http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek _______________________________________________ kde-community mailing list kde-community@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
