Escrúpulos Una piedra en la conciencia del software libre, calidad y la vida misma

Because we had the time, or better said, I had the time. Someone asked how come we were starting the work on a port to KDE4, even before our very clear intent of releasing 1.0 for KDE3. Well, I had the opportunity to take a 2-month leave of absence, kind of, and then I had some free time to work on KMyMoney. Since we were already in feature- and string-freeze, I talked to the rest of the team and we agreed that I would start the work on the KDE4 port. They will join once the 1.0 is out the door. BTW, there will be some nice surprises for the 1.0, which they won't commit until the last minute, so it will be a surprise to all of us. Or at least, that's what I heard.

I was starting my leave when Laurent contacted Thomas, asking about the status of the port. Thomas pointed him to me, and voilá! the work on a port began. As per Laurent's suggestion, I uploaded the code to playground and we began a phase of heavy fixing, to make the code compile under KDE4. Later on, Nicolas Lécureuil joined the effort. They have been doing one hell of a job since then. The application runs and it can open a file, save it, show some data, and even edit most of the data. One big area that I am still working on is the ledger, which is the main part of an accounting application. It is one of the most complicated pieces of the code, and I haven't worked on it very often before this.

The last couple of weeks I have had some personal issues, so I haven't had much time to work on the code. I hope things will go back to normal shortly. Anyway, Nicolas and Laurent have been hard at work, and things are moving forward. Perhaps we can through kdereview before 4.4? Who knows.
