Keywords vs X-KDE-Keywords on .desktop files

Seem similar, do they? But they have a *radical* difference, one is "old" (X-KDE-Keywords) and the other is "new" (Keywords). The "new" one is also an xdg standard and as such the separator is ';'. The old one is just a KConfig string list and thus the separator is ','.

Great isn't it?

TL;DR
X-KDE-Keywords uses , for separation
Keywords uses ; for separation

KDE Gardening Love Project: KRecipes

KRecipes has been in 2.0beta since 2010 so we decided it will be our next Love Project.

Objectives:
* We want to release 2.0 "quickly" and then 2.1 in one/two months.
* Migrate https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/krecipes-devel over to kde.org
* Migrate http://krecipes.sourceforge.net/ contents over to https://userbase.kde.org/KRecipes
* Add krecipes group to reviewboard that mails the KDE mailing list
* Add krecipes to jenkins that mails the kde.org mailing list
* Make sure bugs/reviewboards are defaulted to kde.org and go thorugh
* Port some of the Qt3Support code (make sure don't break stuff) :D

We will be updating this list at https://community.kde.org/Gardening/KRecipes

If you want to join the initiative please join the KDE Gardening mailing list and announce yourself :)
