[Ktechlab-devel] Project status and plans

[Zoltan Padrah]

Currently there is a task that doesn't require coding skills: on the
GUI of ktechlab, many icons are missing -- only some white
rectangle-like "missing icon" images appear. It would be useful to
find all of them (probably screenshots with some markings are the most
efficient).
I think now this is the most annoying graphical issue with ktechlab.

As a bonus, some replacement for them would be nice. The original KDE3
icon set would be one option (it still should be available somewhere),
or the new, standardized freedesktop icons (
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html
).

>>
>> My plans are the following:
>>
>> - as soon as I manage to do it, I want to get some preview release out
>> from the port-0.3.8-kde4-v1 branch, and then periodically creating
>> preview releases until every (observed) bug is fixed
>>
>> - after the 0.3.8 KDE4 port is done, I want to target Qt5, again with
>> porting, in order to avoid depending on obsolete libraries.
>> Fortunately the current round of distributions with long-term-support
>> include Qt4, but most probably at some point Qt4 will be abandoned.
>>
>> - in parallel with Qt5 porting, I want to maintain the Qt4 port,
>> mostly with bugfixes
>>
>> - in parallel with all the technical part, I'm planning to do a
>> checklist, and then contact KDE for KTechLab becoming a KDE project. I
>> think this will be beneficial for KTechLab as a project. I assume that
>> KDE Science and KDE Edu are closest to KTechLab.
