,----[ Quote ]
| Focusing again on applications this week, specifically I'll look at
| two of the promising document viewers for KDE 4, Okular and Ligature.
| They are two of the rising stars of KDE 4, but they both have their
| roots as KDE 3 applications that have grown up.

The Road to KDE 4: SVG Rendering in Applications

,----[ Quote ]
| Since KDE 4 development is in full swing with plans for a KDE 4.0
| release sometime later this year, I thought I'd put together a
| weekly piece entitled The Road to KDE 4. The idea is to have a
| short overview of one or two of the features that show progress
| in KDE 4. For my first issue, the goal is to show off some of
| the great SVG work that has taken place so far.

A sneak preview of the expected features in KDE 4.0

,----[ Quote ]
| KDE 4.0 will feature an API layer called Solid which will interact
| with projects like the hardware abstraction layer to let hardware
| connect smoothly with KDE.
| 
| KDE 4.0 will feature better multimedia experience through a project
| called Phonon which will collaborate with Solid. So no more need to
| choose multimedia backends as the Phonon API will take care of it.
| 
| Plasma will provide the next generation desktop experience in KDE
| 4.0. It is planned to integrate three separate applications namely
| the Kicker (Panel), KDesktop and Super Karamba (Widgets) into a
| single application. And the surprise of all things is that it will
| be possible to run the beautiful Dashboard widgets of Mac OSX in
| KDE 4.0.
