You mean like X.org? Or the broken standardization process we're currently
trying to fix? No thanks...

If you look at Silk, you'd see that it's not a piece of code that can be
on FDO or not, it's a KDE-wide effort to improve on web integration in the
desktop and in application. You can think of it more as a set of loosely
connected components, plugins for applications for example, but also Qt-
that typically would belong onto Freedesktop.org. On top of that I'd not
be willing to implement these things without usign KDE infrastructure and
libraries.

If other projects want to adopt pieces of the code or interact with Silk
developers, that's fine of course. Still, I don't see any benefits from
making Silk an FDO project.

Aah. Parts of my reply got eaten!

... but also Qt-style APIs. Most of Silk is nothing that typically would
belong onto Freedesktop.org. ...
