[ghns] Fwd: r397 - trunk/hotstuff/scripts

[Frederik Gladhorn]

Hi Josef and all :)

it's great and encouraging to hear updates on the server side are progressing.
There are still some points that came up for kde-edu, but will be similiar for 
the other areas of kns users.
Different people would like to manage their data on kstuff.org, Annma for 
example asked to be able to manage the KHangman files.
Going always through one person is quite tiresome and not very appealing to 
us.
It would be great, if it were possible to use normal kde-svn accounts to 
access the data portion of kstuff. Do you think this would be possible?
Having one person centrally manage all repos will now work when more apps are 
using kns.

On the good news side:
I implemented the marble hot new stuff, so a new map overlay can be 
downloaded. But since I do not know where exactly the providers.xml and 
similiar files can be found, I could not profit of kstuff so far.
The same issue comes up with Kalzium, where ghns is disabled for now, but 
would be fully functional if we had it working server side.
There another problem comes up, where Jeremy and I are not sure how to tackle 
it.
In the Kalzium .meta files which Carsten generates with a ruby script only 
relative urls are used for the payload. This results in KNS2 not being able 
to download the files.

As 4.0 approaches and KNS is very important to us and we do want it working to 
have a good foundation for the entire KDE4, please help us get it working 
right now ;)

It would be great if there was a site giving a quick intro for app developers. 
Getting kns set up is easy, but then
 a) how to get data to kstuff
 b) how to find the right .xml files to make it work

Also it would help to enable us to update the files as well, as long as the 
xml generation involves some manual tasks. Otherwise testing and fixing KNS 
is really hard.

Thanks a lot,
Frederik
