Tellico moving into KDE extragear SVN

[Robby Stephenson]

Hi everyone,

I plan to move Tellico's SVN repo from Novell Forge to the KDE 
extragear/office module. The port to KDE4 seems to be a good time to make 
the jump. I won't be keeping the SVN history, the upload will only be a 
snapshot of the current trunk.

The advantages that I hope for are:
- Increased visibility in the KDE community
- Better translation help
- Maybe even some coding help

Here's what I plan:
- Sometime next weekend, release Tellico 1.3.5 which will be the last 
planned release for the 1.3 branch for KDE3.
- I'm not going to import into extragear until after the 1.3.5 release, so 
those of you who are currently committing to the Novell Forge svn, you can 
keep doing that until next weekend.
- Then, full speed ahead with Tellico 2.0 which will be the KDE4 port. It 
will largely be identical to 1.3.5. I don't plan any new features or 
anything right now.

I know I talked for a while about writing a SQL backend or something for 
Tellico 2, but that will have to wait.

I already have a KDE svn account and I've emailed the extragear maintainers 
about making the move, so the big hurdle will be getting Tellico integrated 
into the build structure for the module.

Regis, Mathias, Petri, those of you who have been such a big help with 
porting and packaging, I'd be happy for you to list me as a reference (if 
need be) if you want to get a KDE svn account to continue working on 
Tellico.

I've not decided what to do about the mailing list hosting just yet.

I'll email the list further when I actually plan to make the move.

Thanks!
Robby
