Clarification Announcement!

Hi all. This is a post to clear up any issues that people might be
confused with.
We've all agreed to this, so this is now here for reference.

So, let me start of by saying:

TRINITY IS NOT KDE3 (anymore).
KDE3 IS DEAD.

And let me go a bit further with that.

We are currently in an alpha stage of porting Trinity to cmake.
There is currently the following in usable or finished states:

- tqtinterface
- arts
- kdelibs
- kdebase
- kdedevelop

The 3.5.12 tarballs DO NOT have them. I repeat, DO NOT have cmake scripts.
You will need to download them from http://thel.ro/ and insert them
into the build directory.

We are also in a pre-alpha stage of porting Trinity to Qt4.
Before I go any further, let me say:

WE ARE NOT PORTING APPLICATIONS ONE BY ONE TO QT4 (as may have been
interpreted before).
What we are doing is porting the apps to TQt (a relatively easy thing
to do), and then letting TQt handle the Qt version specifics.

TQt for Qt4 has been progressing along for some time, although it is
COMPLETELY FAR from stable.
If you'd like to see a screenshot from 3.5.13, Tim provides one here:

I assure you, we are not making another KDE4. We'll leave that junk to
the KDE4 developers.


Thank you for taking the time to read this.
