In my opinion joining to KDE is only one of the options. The difficulty in
that kind of movement most probably would be, however, that the larger KDE
community would not join to the development of RG. We need to have an input
of people who like to have fun with both programming and playing music, and
vice versa. The most difficult problems are not in choosing the best desktop
but rather in developing the core of RG.
The movement towards QT4 is not ment to be a movement away from KDE.
KDE4 relies in many places on QT4 which is also used in many cross-platform
solutions. If RG aims at being a cross-platform program, it is necessary to
choose tools which are already ported for the major operating systems.
If the user base covered most of the operating systems (*nuxes, Windowses,
Macs), also the probability of other people to joining RG development would
greatly increase.
Best wishes,
Heikki
p.s. I have installed Kubuntu 8.10 RC to my laptop. It looks great and at
some point I would like to try compiling the new QT4 version of RG :)
