Hello! I've begun putting together the content for a Krita
website.
Many sections are just rearranging existing sections into
different
sections, for some I've been gathering what I can. Once I'm
done,
I'm sticking everything together in a .tar file, and
uploading it
somewhere so someone can correct the content and insert the
proper
coding (I don't know any website coding save very basic
html, sorry!).
The start of the website could coincide with the release of
KOffice 2.0.
There's a few holes (and probably more to come) that I wish
you could
answer though:
History section:
1. Who was the person who started Kimp in 1998?
2. When did Krita officially merge into KOffice? Was it when
that
person from Kompany offered to help (then disappeared), or
was it
before?
FAQ section:
1. What do you need to compile Krita on a Linux distro...
- if you're not using KDE, or are using KDE 3.5
- (it should be straightforward if you're using KDE 4.0)
- what if you're a developer? What environments and
libraries do you
need?
2. Can Krita be compiled on Windows or Mac OSX, and if so,
what are
the requirements? Do you need to install KDE 4.0 once it
comes out
on those platforms? Will there be Zeropackages or such
available
instead?
Contributions section:
1. Where do you go if you want to contribute...
- to the development
- to interface design
- to tutorials and documentation (and in what format)
- to give artworks
- to donate money
- anything else?
^ Krita as I see it currently doesn't have a good platform
for
donating. Sure, you can tell everybody to head to the
mailing list,
but...
Other items (part of them personal curiosity):
- is there Any chance that Krita's bug sorting system could
migrate to
a more organized platform such as Launchpad? Inkscape has
migrated to
Launchpad, and frankly I like its bug sorting system a lot
more than
any other I've seen before: it's an incredibly easy to look
platform
where users can quickly find out what new features have
already been
proposed and/or are being worked on, and it even has a
"questions"
section. I've tried looking at the kde bug sorter and
frankly I can't
find anything.
- could Krita get more or better mailing list systems? Other
major
graphics programs have at least several: one for
announcements, one
for developers, one for users, one for each language etc.
- could Krita start using a "release note" system
much like Inkscape
does right now?
- I have no idea how to do the content for the
"developers" page, but
ah well. It doesn't prevent me from doing the other pages.
- also, the website will need lots of screenshots. Well...
These can
always be taken when Krita is nearer stable release. By the
way,
Boudewijn Rempt, is it me or is your blog not working?
- Just out of curiosity... of the new brush system: I know
many things
can be mapped to the tablet. For those of us who can't get
tablet
working on Linux, are there other dynamic brush effects such
as jitters
and the ability to resize brushes other than generated round
ones?
(okay, so this has nothing to do with the website... I'm
curious though)
