Love and hate with Kommander
Kommander is, IMHO, a great idea which needs a lot of technical improvements. The core idea is very good, but Kommander has many problems and bugs that need to be solved if it wants to be much more useful. I am currently using Kommander for a couple of things and fully acknowledge its power. There’s also a Kommander scripts section at www.kde-apps.org.
Kommander is composed of two main programs. kmdr-executor is the program that runs Kommander scripts. kmdr-editor is the one that lets you create those scripts.
The main problem with Kommander is its documentation and specially its handbook. The introduction is very hard to understand for programmers and non-programmers, and you don’t get to see an example of what Kommander is about because the tutorials, which should appear later in the documentation, are missing. It contains a lot of philosophy that should probably be put in a different section.
There are also contradictions present in the project goals and features, in my humble opinion.
Yet the power of Kommander, as mentioned before, is being able to run scripts in many differente languages and bind them all together.

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
