What's happening with konqueror?

Fri Mar 20, 2009 6:51 pm
To be honest, my most frustrated experience with KDE so has to be konqueror. However, this is not going to be just another rant! I have been trying to get involved and help, but there's just not that much information to gather. Konqueror's official page has not been updated since last ice age. There's no documentation on how to write an extension. I even become to doubt if it's even possible to write one. There's only one proposal related to konqueror in this year's GSoC, and it's about integrating bookmark an akonadi. which in my opinion doesn't help much about the current crisis konqueror is having at all. Konqueror needs a extension frame work! KHTML needs to be at least pass Acid 3 test! Flash plugin needs to work with zero configuration/hack! Yet with the ways things are now, I don't think we are getting at all.


Well, I am lost.

I'm using 4.2.1 and the only problem I have had with Konqueror is that the popup windows on the British Library catalogue do not display as they used to do under KDE3. Otherwise, unless Konqueror is hiding things from me, I have been able to see everything on all the sites for which I regularly use Konqueror as well as I did in KDE3 or in Firefox.

This is not what I mean! I mean at least konqueror should try to show they "want" users to get involved. I probably lost my point I was trying to make half way through the writing, but keeping their website up to date shouldn't be that difficult. A little more information will be greatly appreciated.
