Talk:KDE Software Compilation

Fifth series
Due to the decision to diverge into KDE Frameworks, Plasma Next and KDE Applications, there ain't no "fifth series". Probably due to lack of manpower, only KDE Frameworks and Plasma Next are going to be based on Qt 5. Releases of "KDE Applications" remain to be based on Qt 4. Quoting http://dot.kde.org/2013/09/04/kde-release-structure-evolves :"There is currently (as of 2013-09-04) no concrete plan for porting KDE Applications to KDE Frameworks 5, although some teams have started experimenting with this. A full scale move to Frameworks 5 is not expected until the new Frameworks and Plasma platforms are ready. Users can rely on at least 2 more releases of KDE Applications with the current underlying 4.x technologies." The question is, how to document this divergence in the Wikipedia. I suggest to stop writing about "fifth series" and move to "post-forth series" and to distinguish between Qt4 and Qt5-based software.

Could this article be split / better targeted, please?
I got to this article as a redirect from 'kde applications' (breadcrumb 'kde framework') - to the top, no less. Could (a) the redirect be better focused to the appropriate spot within the article? 'kde applications' is also referenced within the article, however clicking on it brings one back to the top of this same article, making it a circular (and annoying) reference. So (b) could the article be split out with kde applications getting its own page? Reference the 'kde framework' article in the sense of nicely constraining that topic - was looking for a similarly scoped article for kde applications. This current article nicely contains the kde framework reference to show its place within the current kde ecosystem / framework of this entire article - could the same be done for kde applications, please?

Redirect KDE Software Compilation -> KDE Software Compilation 4
Since "KDE SC" was only ever used during the "KDE4" series prior to the complete rebranding of the post-4-series, the info about KDE SC would expected to be identical to what is described in detail under "KDE Software Compilation 4". For the more general History of "KDE Software", there is now a page that bascially covers all broader topics that the current "KDE Software Compilation" article was formerly covering as well. Therefore a redirect to "KDE Software Compilation 4" would reduce redundancy while more accurately describing the "KDE SC 4" in detail and following historic and current releases at "KDE Software". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.175.93.31 (talk) 11:16, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
