For one, those paths in the repo hierachy are just legacy and long-term will be dropped, for a flat list of repos. Then, that description is copied unchanged from marketing-buzzword loaded origin :) I had put kdiagram into projects/extragear/graphics after discussion as diagrams can be used for lots of things. There is a (business) world outside offices :) Current users known to me of either KChart or KGantt are Massif-Visualizer, something in KDEPIM, KMyMoney, Plan, a Calligra shape plugin and a KReport plugin. So KDiagram is a project shared by many KDE projects, nothing Calligra-centric there. So I do not see a reason to move this. More, as long as that legacy adressing hierarchy of repos exists, I would rather recommend to move non-Calligra-only stuff like KDb, KReport & KProperty somewhere into the generic extragear namespace, as those libs target developers, unlike the "apps" which make up what currently is known as Calligra and what is about end user products. By being in the generic extragear namespace this might help stressing the libs general usability outside of the existing set of Calligra apps. My 2 cents on that :) Friedrich
