Extragear
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Extragear is a collection of KDE applications that are associated with the KDE project. Those apps are not part of the main KDE distribution for various reasons, but they are still part of the project. This gives them higher visibility to Translators and Documentation Writers.
There are multiple possible reasons for an application to not be in one of the KDE modules, for example:
- duplication of functionality
- very specialized (like KSMSSend)
It is possible for applications in Extragear to be released independently of KDE by their own maintainers.
