Comment Red Carpet and KDE (Score 1) 140
Anyone knows how is Red Carpet going to work? Is it going to be GPLed? It seems to me that it is going to be some great piece of software, that will solve all the problems of Linux packaging. (at least that's what him said!)
But I think it will be very bad if this great software works only for Gnome, as there a lot of people who use (and prefer) KDE.
I hope that the Helix team will do their best to keep the Red Carpet system as open as possible (as keeping their dependency database in a well documented xml format)
It would be great if the underlining tecnology were toolkit and desktop independent, and it only had a Gnome interface, but I don't know if its going to happen.
Anyway, does anyone has more information on it?
