+Kde templates quickstart
+Author: Thomas Nagy
+Date: 2004-03-22
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+This README file explains you basic things for starting with
+this application template.
+
+-----------------------------------------------
+--NOTE--: you need kdelibs 3.5 and kdelibs headers 3.5 (devel package) in order to build this template.
+Qt version might be 3.3.4 or 3.3.5
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+** Building and installing **
+
+* Build the configure script by "make -f Makefile.cvs"
+
+* To clean, use "make clean", and to clean everything 
+(remove the makefiles, etc), use "make distclean"
+
+* To distribute your program, try "make dist".
+This will make a compact tarball archive of your release with the
+necessary scripts inside.
+
+* Modifying the auto-tools scripts
+for automake scripts there is an excellent tutorial there :
+http://developer.kde.org/documentation/other/makefile_am_howto.html
+
+* Simplify your life : install the project in your home directory for
+testing purposes.
+./configure --prefix=/home/user/dummyfolder/
+In the end when you finished the development you can
+rm -rf /home/user/dummyfolder/
+without fear.
+
+
+** Technologies **
+
+* Build the menus of your application easily
+kde applications now use an xml file (*ui.rc file) to build the menus.
+This allow a great customization of the application. However, when
+programming the menu is shown only after a "make install"
+
+For more details, consult :
+http://devel-home.kde.org/~larrosa/tutorial/p9.html
+http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/xmlui/preface.html
+
+* Use KConfig XT to create your configuration dialogs and make 
+them more maintainable.
+
+For that, you will need to write two simple configuration files 
+in the src directory : <myproject>.kcfg and a <settings>.kcfgc
+The configure.in.in will need to be modified : change the line #MIN_CONFIG(3.0.0) 
+into #MIN_CONFIG(3.2.0)
+
+Take an example on the many apps found in the kdegames source package and consult :
+http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/kconfigxt/kconfigxt.html
+
+* With KParts, you can embed other kde components in your program, or make your program
+embeddable in other apps. For example, the kmplayer kpart can be called to play videos
+in your app.
+
+For more details, consult :
+http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-kparts/
+http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/dot/writing-plugins.html
+http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/developing-a-plugin-structure/index.html
+
+* With dcop, you can control your app from other applications
+Make sure to include K_DCOP and a kdcop: section in your .h file
+http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/dot/dcopiface/dcop-interface.html
+
+
+** Documentation **
+
+* For the translations :
+1. Download a patched gettext which can be found at:
+ http://public.kde.planetmirror.com/pub/kde/devel/gettext-kde/
+2. Install that gettext in ~/bin/
+3. cd ~/yourproject, export PATH=~/bin:$PATH, export
+KDEDIR=/where_your_KDE3_is
+4. make -f admin/Makefile.common package-messages
+5. make package-messages
+6. Translate the po files (not the pot!!) with kbabel or xemacs
+
+* Do not forget to write the documentation for your kde app 
+edit the documentation template index.docbook in doc/
