Development languages

Kde-systemsettings was replaced with "MEPIS System Settings" which is a custom configuration of the standard "settings" kio-slave. The User Tweaks and System Tweaks components of the MEPIS OS Center have been moved to separate QT apps. Warren explained "We were seeking a kcontrol framework configuration that would allow us to breakout the MEPIS configuration components and permit the integration of configuration utilities that were not KDE apps and specifically not Kcontrol components. This way, MEPIS and the MEPIS community can build configuration apps that have the potential of being written in a variety of languages and of being shared with the Ubuntu community. In other words, the apps can be written in C++ or Java or Ruby, etc. They can use QT, KDE, GTK, or WX widgets. For MEPIS, it doesn't matter as long as everyone conforms to the same design guidelines."

Hopefully those apps-writing languages also cover Python. Ubuntu developers are already focusing on developing in that direction. Python is platform (read KDE/Gnome) independant and highly modular: easy adding of new modules to an Python app.
