[Uml-devel] Umbrello improvement

[Emmanuel Lepage-Vallée]

Hi Oscar,

Your changes look very interesting ans useful. Umbrello live from
contributions like yours and if it doesn't cause any issues, it would
be nice to merge them as soon as possible. Umbrello should officially
switch to the Git version system soon after the KDE SC 4.10 release,
making it a lot easier to track and integrate contributions like
yours. My advice would be for you to get a KDE developer account (see
the KDE techbase wiki and #kde-git and #kde-sysadmin on freenode.net
IRC).  Then, once the thunk is unfrozen and migrated to git, make a
branch with your changes applied on the most recent version of
Umbrello. Once it is done, push your branch to KDE servers so other
Umbrello contributors can test the changes and hopefully merge them
into the master branch.

Thank you for contributing to Umbrello
