Hey 
A few days ago we released the first beta of Shaman. It was the first time we posted and announced it in Archlinux’s official BBS: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=46600&p=1
Also we feature freezed it with this release and the next beta will come very soon 
Now we started to think about Shaman2, which will be a complete rewrite of it… Shaman2 will be plugin based, both GUI and backend So it will be not only the Archlinux-Package-Manager but also the one of Kubuntu or SuSE probably
By the way, we always like to welcome new Developers.
Things on KDEMod are going well too We plan to develop a live-cd, some build-scripts are already there! Thanks to Dunkelstern for this.
Also we switched Arxin from Qt to KDELibs, to have a tighter KDE4-Integration. We plan to support Scripted-Modules through Kross soon.
Ok coming to KGet
I got a lot of things done in my holidays, which are 2,5 weeks away now =/ After it I had some spare time to fix things and polish everything a bit. Currently I’m working on the Nepomuk-Integration, we already save some File-Properties to it in the SVN-Version, but Rating and Tagging was not yet supported. Hope that you all will enjoy that in the future
I don’t think that Multisource-Downloading will be ready for 4.1, we had too less time to test things and to work on it and Manolo is pretty busy at the moment. 
But after it I’m sure we will have it integrated very well, at least with Metalink-Plugin, which will be the first Example using multiple Sources in the future.
So, enough for today, hope that I can blog a bit more the next days

Hey everyone!
Perhaps you don’t know me, but I’m KGet-Developer for ~6 Month now. I also wanted to blog for a long time now, but didn’t find time. Now we have holidays in Germany and I can start
Today I want to tell you a bit about Development-Progress in KGet:
Urs and Nookie have worked together on a Webinterface. It’s pretty nice imo and there were already some Screenshots of it @ jarzebski.pl.
In the meantime, Javier has made a lot of improvements to the TransferHistory, which was introduced directly after the 4.0.0-release. Before we only had a XML-Backend for it, but now you can choose between XML and SQLite (which is the default one). Also you can switch from a KCategorizedView (the one which is used in Dolphin and Systemsettings) to a normal QTreeWidget, in both variants you can choose between ordering by Host, Size and Date. This is still work in progress, but it’s already working very well here.
In January I also joined the Development-Team of a new Package-Manager-Frontend for Archlinux. It’s called Shaman (previously QtPacman).
The development is pretty fast (all this is work of 2 Month). The main development happens in the KDEMod-Forums: http://kdemod.ath.cx/bbs/viewtopic.php?id=502
With Dario (the other Shaman-Developer) I also started a new Project to edit Archlinux-Configuration-Files, called Arxin. No screenshot from this here, cause it’s a little bit … ähh .. ugly at the moment…
This was my first Blogentry I every wrote, hope you enjoyed reading and please let me know your opinion about it
