Ok, continue blogging today after few busy days. For my GSoC 2007 project, my assigned KDE mentor is Tomas Mecir. He is a KSpread developer, not a KWord developer. But this should not be a problem, since he also knows well the basic structure of KOffice. For KWord specific things, I may need to ask other developers (apart from reading the API and source code of course). Also whenever possible, I will need to make sure the tools are also useful for other KOffice applications (in my mind the closest candidate of sharing those tools is KPresenter). For the development environment of KDE4 (kdelibs4) and KOffice2, I already have them in my Debian box (an old Athlon XP-2200+), from KDE anonymous SVN of course. Few days ago, I just purchased a laptop (an Acer one, quite cheap), and I still need to set up the Linux (Debian – my distribution of choice) and of course I need to se up the KDE4 + KOffice2 development environment again. I’ll write about the laptop again tomorrow, or whenever I have free time ![]()
Btw, thanks to Darmawan who posted the 1st comment on my 1st blog, congratulations to you too. Nice to see other Indonesian in GSoC 2007, also nice that he is from a university in my hometown (Bandung), I will be going back to Bandung around end of June. (I saw the information from GSoC 2007 student profiles).
