KHotNewStuff2. The hottest thing since sliced bread.
KHotNewStuff2 is the successor to KHotNewStuff. It provides compatibility
with KHotNewStuff web repositories, while adding more features with the use of
DXS specification using web 2.0 soap technology. Some existing KDE applications
are using this technology to enable easy sharing of their data.
All applications need data of some kind or another. Data can be shared by
adding it to svn, getting it shipped with your distro, or by yourself ultimately.
The ultimate aim of KHotNewStuff2 is to make data collaboration as easy as
it is to collaborate on code if not more so.
This presentation of the abilities and features of KHotNewStuff2 and DXS
specification will benefit many KDE applications and their respective
authors.
I will present the state of the current development, how it is used in some
applications, a couple use cases I've been presented with, and walk through
using it in an application.
