</div>great; and since you're wanting to charge in on this, please don't hesitate to<br>
ask questions as they arise, either here or on irc in #plasma or #plasma-<br>
mediacenter :)<br>
<br>
welcome to the project, btw :)<br>

</div>absolutely; it's not a real project until releases get made ;)<br>

</div>my initial plans/hopes for PMC are to ship it as a feature of Plasma Desktop;<br>
both Windows and MacOS have media center apps that ship with them, so this<br>
would draw us to feature parity with them (and above all the other F/OSS<br>
desktop options out there at the same time in this regard :)<br>
<br>
that will get us a lot of feedback and testing, as our strongest base is still<br>
desktop users. then we can take that and start doing the work to make a proper<br>
stand-alone system. that will likely revolve around getting the input system<br>
(remotes, esp) working well and uPnp for media. i'd LOVE to see the ability to<br>
stream media from a Plasma Desktop or Amarok to a Plasma MC with "zero" user<br>
configuration. but that can be step 2, after step 1 of releasing it alongside<br>
Plasma Desktop for laptop/desktop users.<br>

what does everyone think about targetting 4.6 for a solid "step 1"? we can do<br>
a tech preview before then if PMC hits some milestones. we can work with<br>
openSuse and/or Kubuntu to roll such a thing. (aka "copy the netbook pattern")<br></blockquote><div><br>4.6 is a good target but we *absolutely* need to sort out the Phonon issue.<br>Personally I cannot manage to play videos at all, and I'm a developer.. think about users.<br>
I know i might have some config issues, but i don't think Avatar-like people in videos are over as of the current Phonon version.<br>Regarding the other stuff we now have a pretty much working integration with nepomuk + i'm doing huge API review (just committed one).<br>
Christopher is doing pretty great job with QML while Christophe is giving great help polishing.<br>I'm hoping in Hayri to get the working JS dataengines soon.<br>Stated this i think that at least a tech preview can be released soon.<br>
Regarding the release schedule, instead, i cannot guarantee i can follow KDE SC release schedule in general due to university ( :/ ) and therefore I was thinking about extragear. If, instead, we reach a good developers base I think we have more chances to release alongside with KDE SC.<br>
<br>Just my 2 cc.<br>Cheers :)<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
