Collaborative text editing in KTextEditor and kde-telepathy: Preview release

We have decided that kte-collaborative (the "Collaborative text editing in KTextEditor via kde-telepathy" project -- see previous) is ready for a first release! This release is explicitly flagged as "preview" and might not be suitable for daily use just yet. There are still some known problems; the release is meant as an invitation to curious users to test the program and tell us about any problems they encounter.

Release tarballs:

• libqinfinity: http://download.kde.org/stable/libqinfinity/0.5.0/src/libqinfinity-v0.5.0.tar.xz.mirrorlist (sha256: dcd044b6f21a0356b4a95fedc778def4543e8b45b153c7256cce222a49394d07)

You might want to use the heads of the 0.5 and 0.1 git branches of libqinfinity and kte-collaborative instead to profit from the latest fixes made after the release tagging.

GSoC: Collaborative text editing in Kate + kde-telepathy: status report No. 2

Read my first status report for a more general introduction on what is happening.

In the last two weeks, I have implemented many shiny new things in kte-collaborative! Here's a short summary of the most prominent ones.

GSoC: Collaborative text editing in kate + kde-telepathy

First of all, I've been accepted for GSoC this year! I'll be working on creating a collaborative text editor based on the KTextEditor interface and libinfinity library, and on integrating that editor into kde-telepathy. The point of integration with kde-telepathy is that it will allow for a nice user experience in setting up connections: instead of typing IP addresses, they can just select a person from their contact list.
"Integration" doesn't mean you'll be required to use it, though -- it'll work just fine with the old-fashioned way, too.
This post will give a rough overview over the project and what I have done so far.
First, here's a nice image so you don't get bored.
