KPilot removed from KDE 4
Various reports have been posted (as at the KPilot Development blog, KDE Developers, KDE Dot News and NewsForge) that the KDE project are to remove KPilot from KDE 4, and use OpenSync as the basis for its PDA sync'ing application which is to be called KitchenSync. Adriaan De Groot writes:
Frankly, none of the syncing projects in KDE SVN was going anywhere. Chronically strapped for time and with no developer community to speak of (this certainly goes for KPilot, where I've had on-again-off-again help from Reinhold and Jason in recent years, which was useful but never grew into a concerted effort), things languished in a partly-functioning and buggy state for a long time. I do hope that working with OpenSync will bring a change there -- it's a larger developer community for one thing.
KPilot itself is to continue as a separate project; its website is www.kpilot.org.
