“K3b version 1.0 was released for the KDE 3 series in
2007, but since then it has been a non-trivial port to the new KDE4
platform for lead developer Sebastian Trueg.“”Where is it? Well, it is on its way, as it has been for the
last few years,” Trueg wrote in a blog post. Mandriva Linux wanted
K3b done for its 2009 Spring release (due April 29, 2009) and
assigned two developers on the project part-time reporting to
Trueg.“”This was a nice but also wise move,” he said. “Everybody who
ever worked on K3b or sent patches knows how protective I am of its
code. So by letting two developers work on K3b, Mandriva kind of
forced me to work on it too. I am finally enjoying hacking on K3b
again.””
