            <description><![CDATA[I think all the stuff about open governance is creating the wrong idea of a democracy in the minds of some people, while it clearly isn’t.
	

	Open governance is not democratic. It clearly calls itself meritocratic right in the first sentence of the page I linked to. Democracy is not even mentioned.

	
		Open governance doesn’t extend all the way down to the bottom,
	

	It might not be perfect, but it actually works pretty well from my experience.

	Of course I read posts by Lars or Thiago more carefully than those by people I have never noticed before.

	That is a social thing: People you have worked with before and found reliable/trustworthy/competent or whatever do get a bonus in all future interactions.

	
		&#8230; it is more of a thin layer whose purpose is to attract more small contribution while keeping the core of decision making detached.
	

	That has never been my impression.

	
		I’ve seen developer base requests ignored, often by means of “do it yourself then” statements, I’ve even seen cases where people actually do it themselves and even offer to contribute it just to have it rejected.
	

	Of course that will happen. My requests are sometimes ignored, too, just as some of my patches are rejected. Most have to go through several rounds of review before I can submit them.

	There are many reasons to reject patches, &#8220;I do not know that person&#8221; or &#8220;that company sucks&#8221; are not among those though.

	
		As Tobias Hunger said, those who “contribute” the most have the call, and that just so happens to be a company named Digia, [&#8230;]
	

	I am maintainer of the version control code in creator and personally work with several maintainers that are not employed by Digia, that are responsible for individual VCS implementations. I do follow their lead in all that effects their plugin only.

	Yes, I do overrule some ideas where they change interfaces that effect more than one VCS. Making sure that everything works well together is my job, of course I take the right to reject patches that effect that.

	
		[&#8230;] so technically no one contributes more than Digia, and at the core, decision making is a subject of managers and corporate politics, much like everywhere else.
	

	That has never been my experience in Qt/Nokia. I have always experienced the Qt department as very developer driven. This is even more true in Digia.

	
		Qt is a product in decades of development by a significantly big team of experienced professional developers, so at this point in time, I think it is pretty much impossible to do anything that can contribute to such an extent as to make your voice prominent enough.
	

	All you need to be invited to the Qt Contributor Summit [blog.qt.digia.com] is approver status. That is not too hard to get, even without dedicating a lot of resources into one aspect of the Qt ecosystem.]]></description>

            <title>QtWebKit and perspective for future development</title>

            <description><![CDATA[Hello guys!
I hope to get some answers/advice/help from Qt community)
Our company is about to start big project and we think to use Qt like our core technology. 
This project is somthing like browser that give our clients some specific tools to do job.
So we looked at QtWebKit module and test him, and looks like it give to us all that we need.
But we have some questions to solve, before we enter main development phase&#8230;
Our questions is pretty trivial, we like and others companys wants to have some guarantees, that technologies that we used not dropped and have some plans for future development.

	So first main question: 
Is Qt have some plans to maintain and develop tools like QtWebKit that gives abilities to create custom browser?

	And here is second question:
In nearest time Google fork WebKit and starts develop own engine called Blink, so WebKit lost one of main maintainers.
So is QtWebKit or part of Qt that give tools to create custom browser has some guarantees to be on the wave of web browser technologies, and ready to switch on better technologies?

	Some project info: currently we want to use Widgets + QtWebKit to develop app that can run on Windows and Linux.

	Sorry for my bad english, its not my native language. I hope u understand me)))]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Hi,

	I&#8217;m quite concerned about the direction Qt is taking these days. I was wondering; who makes the decisions for this project now?

	Is there someone I can contact that is in charge of what changes are made to the framework? Is there some kind of voting system for changes or are decisions purely dictatorial? How do I make my voice heard? Are there any other dissenters around that may be discussing a fork?

	I&#8217;d rather not discuss why I&#8217;m dissatisfied with Qt5 for fear of starting a flame war. I would just like more information about how decisions are made and by whom.

	Thanks]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Thanks Tobias,
My code files are set to UTF&#45;8 but I was getting scrambled nonsense text displayed in my messageBox until I used FromLocal8Bit.Can my set up here cause any problems?

I suggest using an external document you load and not text you type in your .cpp files.
What if your application uses text that is directly embedded in your code.Want to know if there is something wrong with what I have done.
Thanks.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I hava include this in main.cpp：

    QTextCodec::setCodecForLocale(QTextCodec::codecForName(&#8220;utf8&#8221;));
    QTextCodec::setCodecForTr(QTextCodec::codecForName(&#8220;utf8&#8221;));
    QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings(QTextCodec::codecForName(&#8220;utf8&#8221;));

    But the Japanese sometimes garbled.
    SO I am very confused about it。

            <description><![CDATA[Hi all,
Lately I have been assigned a really big Qt application to work on and add functionalities that meet the needs of my company.The problem is that the project is undocumented and I mostly have a hard time to achieve what I want.My question is this.Are there any specific steps that one might follow to address this kind of problem?

	The steps I have elaborated from my personal experience are as follows:

	1.Build the project from source and get it running

	2.Learn as much as you can on the application from a user&#8217;s perspective

	3.Determine a small function that you want to work on .

	4.Look for any hints that you may find in the application that you have built.Here it might be an icon or an action and follow their slots or any related code chunk to  see how things were done.

	5.In your findings try to comment some stuff out and the see the effect in the running application 

	6.Add some functionalities of your own and see what you get

	It is not possible for me to contact people who have worked on the project previously so I kind of am on my own in this.I have used doxygen to generate class relationship charts but it did not help a lot.Some have even suggested getting a book on Design patterns and learn about ideas behind big application design and I ordered a copy and planing to read it to see where it leads.

	Any ideas or advices will be warmly appreciated.Thanks]]></description>
