If I speak openly that is also my subjective line of thinking. Making a release of software means giving it to others and thus making a promise to them, so subscribing to moral responsibilities. Even while having spent so much time and energy into the porting over the last two years, I am not sure I am motivated to spent my bit of needed time into maintenance where needed by non-contributors currently. At least when it comes to the main Calligra editor apps. My personal interest is in the middleware and technology, and I joined the Calligra project because it was closest to what I would like to have, though with big plans for redesigning basic parts (and quite some draft branches are on my local disk). Which is also why I never officially signed up as maintainer of any of the maintainer-less apps, only for the plugins for Okular and some import filters. Still, to get some momentum in this discussion, I have just taken the liberty to push a commit which removes Braindump, Karbon app & Stage app from release builds, as there is no-one even coming close to be a maintainer. At least with Stage I hope that commit will trigger someone to react, but then hope dies last, they say ;) And by that commit I also express my hope that you the Plan, Sheets & Words maintainers will still do a release for your software, so that my porting contributions are coming to someone else's gain still. Besides that though I have to state now (also to myself) that I have no personal motivation to drive or invest into any release work right now, as there is no itch to scratch for myself here, especially when looking at the consequences. I will happily assist where possible though anyone with a Calligra 3.0 release for small related tasks. > Also, not to be forgotten, KChart and KGantt needs to be released. Yes, thanks for the push :) Though I have had already started to play around with the packaging scripts the other WE. As written in private email, planning for release on latest Nov. 7th. Cheers Friedrich

I have no doubts that middleware tech of the project has the most chances to be actively developed. tl;dr for others: Large parts of Calligra will be frozen, buried in KDE git and not released if there are no maintainers. Very soon, so feel free to share the request with the outside world. -- regards, Jaroslaw Staniek KDE: : A world-wide network of software engineers, artists, writers, translators : and facilitators committed to Free Software development - http://kde.org Calligra Suite: : A graphic art and office suite - http://calligra.org Kexi: : A visual database apps builder - http://calligra.org/kexi Qt Certified Specialist: : http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek
