KDE and Wikipedia Announce Cooperation (KDE.News)
KDE.News reports on a LinuxTag
announcement of cooperation between Wikimedia and the KDE project.
"As the first applications, like the media player amaroK, start to
integrate Wikipedia content the idea is to create a webservice API to
access the information from Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia or
Wiktionary. There are also plans for a KDE API."

KDE and Wikipedia Announce Cooperation (KDE.News) Posted Jun 24, 2005 22:47 UTC (Fri) by sbergman27 (guest, #10767) [Link] This is great and all, but I thought that we were finally past the era of things like "KDE API's" and into the era of "OpenDesktop API's"?

freedesktop is about common standards and shared specifications. how the project implements these is still up to them.

KDE and Wikipedia Announce Cooperation (KDE.News) Posted Jun 25, 2005 16:10 UTC (Sat) by yokem_55 (subscriber, #10498) [Link] KDE usually finishes a complete implimentation of a technology before bringing it to freedesktop.org. So, once the kde version of the wikimedia access libs gets finished and polished, then a more desktop nuetral varient will likely get setup at fd.o for gnome, etc.
