Ok. I'd like to do the following as next:
1. push Manoharan's diff to master and cherry-pick two or three relevant 
commits from frameworks to master
2. Continue the development of the kf5-based version in master (there will be 
no kdelibs/Qt4-version anymore), mainly bug fixing and small polishment at the 
beginning
3. After couple of weeks we should have the application in a good shape ready 
to be released (v2.6.0). I'd vote for adding knights to KDE Applications - 
every desktop has or should have a chess application 
4. For further development a new developmet branch will be created after the 
next release.

Any objections here?

At the moment we don't have any content for knights. The old blog is gone. I 
thought of adding this application with a minimal description to that central 
place just to show that the application is alive and is (will be) part of KDE 
Applications. Currently, knights is quite good already for playing local games 
and games on FICS and it's nice looking. Just couple of annoying bugs and 
smaller features need to be fixed and developed. I don't think there's much 
need now to create a full-fledged page for it. Maybe later, when we decide 
knights to become a chess database like application like scid, it makes sence 
to create a dedicated homepage and to blog about the new features like the 
previous author of knights did.

What about the page on kde-apps?
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Knights?content=122046
I don't expect the previous author to update this content anymore...
