techbase continues to roll along as well. but as always: we need more content!
i added a bunch of explanatory text to the building kde4 tutorial and condensed some of the initial setting-things-up bits a bit. there was some action on the qt-dom tutorial and a number of nice edits here and there.
the development page needs to be reworked so it looks more like the front page, e.g. a pretty list instead of a blocky table.
danimo installed an image map mediawiki extension so that i can hook up the pretty picture pinheiro did for the isv section.
my contribution this week to tutorials will be on plugins using kservice, kservicetypetrader and kgenericfactory in combination.

Hi Aaron,
first thank you for all.
Now my question:
In future,will it be possible to download (pdf,odf) content of techbase?
Vincent
techbase looks very nice. First time that I took a look at it.
What Wiki software is running it?
@vincent: we've talked a bit about offline options. it's something we want to offer in the future.
@anonymous: mediawiki
Having a second look at techbase/filesystem...
I feel a ultra nice addition to kde4 would be to offer a default directory hierarchy where each app lives in only one directory with all of its files (except config files) (yes you've heard that thousands times !).
Maybe there could also be a simple optional kde library/mecanism that each kde app could call to check its own dependencies at startup, then show a nice dialog box and call the default package manager if they are unmet. (easy drag'n drop installation maybe later !)
I know this is more of a packaging task but this would be a great thing to have this at the kde level since there already is an official directory hierarchy (as seen on techbase) and this would defintely be a great step forward (at least for myself, as a user, for the representation and understanding of the system, yes its purely political/philosophical - or think about it as under the hood usability...).
Maybe kde4 transition and binary compatibility break is the perfect time for this and kde4 apps could be politely asked to move to this new hierarchy before 4.0 when it will be too late for any change like that.
Now I'll just sleep better !
thanks for your work and don't listen to me ;-),
