[Konsole-devel] Implementing a different kind of split (multi terminal)

[Vincenzo Pii]

Hi Kurt,

If the goal of creating the review would be to submit my changes, then I
would say it's too early, quite some development is still needed :).
If, on the other hand, the review would be a stepping stone to move the
work on the Konsole repo (maybe on a branch) and then continue the
development there, then I totally agree.

Vincenzo.
