Open Source .NET supports Office challenge (Register)

The Register reports on KDE's support for project Mono. "KDE developers are working [on] two Mono-based projects. The first is a Mono-based script interface to KDE with planned bindings to Qt. These will allow different languages to be used when building KDE applications. A sub-project is also underway for a plug-in interface to Kate, the KDE advanced text editor. The project would enable developers to write Kate plug-ins, such as a browser, in Qt or a version of Microsoft's C Sharp written for in Mono for KDE called QtC Sharp."

This story is a little bogus. See the relevant slashdot thread: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/09/12/131234&mode=nested&tid=121

This is absolute bullshit. The Register have picked up a comment from the guy writing the bindings, where he said he liked them (he wrote the bloody things, after all), and had a bit of a sensationalist wank to come out with "KDE AM TEH USE TEH M0N0 AS ITZ BASE!!!!!!!11". I agree entirely with dfaure's sentiments on the article. I saw it before it hit Slashdot, bagged it on IRC, and was surprised to wake up and see it on Slashdot in the morning. Oh well, *sigh*, continuing both Slashdot and TheReg's tradition of high-quality journalism, yea right.
