[kde-community] KBibTeX

[Thomas Fischer]

Hello,

my name is Thomas Fischer aka thomasfischer or f15h. I started more
than 10 years ago as a German translator for KDE (kdeutils for some
time during 3.x), but moved on to programming. I have/am
contributing patches to various KDE projects like Okular, KGpg, or
KCharSelect.
My biggest project is KBibTeX [1], a BibTeX editor for KDE. I
started this project around 2005 and have been developing it ever
since. The program is included in most KDE-friendly Linux
distributions (and KDE-for-Windows) and it has a loyal user base
(judging by the bug reports).
The project is currently hosted at Gna!, which provides a SVN
repository, bug tracker, homepage, and download space for tar-balls.

I would like to move KBibTeX to the KDE infrastructure and let it
become a "real" KDE project for several reasons:
- Make use of the infrastructure like git repositories, bug tracker,
wiki (userbase, techbase, community) as those are tailored towards a
KDE-based project
- Make KBibTeX better known among KDE users, developers, and supporters
- Profit from a more formalized development and release process
including translations (so far, KBibTeX is known for ever postponed
releases)

Looking forward to hear from you and join KDE!

Greetings from Sweden,
Thomas
