| KDE project launches community file center |
May 23, 2005
As of last week, the K Desktop Environment community now has an official home for sharing, finding, discussing, and ranking useful content files for popular Linux applications.
Enormously popular, KDE is bundled with many Linux distributions, including SimplyMEPIS, Novell's SUSE 9.3, Ubuntu, and many, many more. Each has its own set of users, who each come up with their own solutions for common tasks -- printing addresses on envelopes, creating spreadsheets for weekly payroll, making inserts and labels for CDs and DVDs -- using the same set of applications.
With the launch of www.kde-files.org, KDE users now have a convenient location to find useful user-created content files -- e.g., a place where you can download a pre-existing template, rather than figuring out how to print a recipe on a 3x5 notecard on your own.
Brand spanking new, the archive is a bit sparse at present. Current offerings are primarily limited to templates for OpenOffice.org, Koffice, and other office productivity applications, and astronomical data for Kstars. Future content is limited only by what KDE users can create and share -- user-made maps for favorite strategy games, personal lending library database templates, household chore calendars, coloring book pictures to print out or import into a favorite paint program, and more.
Visit www.kde-files.org to see what KDE users have cooked up, and share solutions of your own!
