Moving KOffice to Git
No, don't get all worried yet! The KOffice community has been planning for a long time to move development to git, but it's only now that all the pieces seem to fall into place. The KDE git project infrastructure is looking pretty good and ready for use.
The only thing missing for KOffice were up-to-date conversion rules and a timeline. KO GmbH decided to do something about the first, by sponsoring Ian Monroe to bring the rules up to date, run the conversion and put the first experimental KOffice git repo online:
http://gitweb.kde.org/scratch/ianmonroe/koffice-test.git
What's needed now is people cloning this repo, testing it, checking it for weirdnesses and getting a feel for git in general.
And the community has decided on a timeline for when development will move to Git, namely right after the branching for the 2.3 release, which should happen with the first release candidate. In other words, pretty soon!
