Rust Wrapper of KConfig

KDE Projects are currently predominantly written in C++ and Python since the bindings for other projects are simply not present or are not idiomatic to use. I am working on Rust bindings for KConfig KDE Framework. The bindings can be found here. As a consequence of this project, I ended up contributing upstream to qmetaobject and became a collaborator in that project.

Mentor

• Jos van den Oever

Features Available

The bindings for the following parts are pretty much complete and have all the features:

• KConfig Class
• KConfigGroup Class
• KDesktopFile Class
• KSharedConfig Class
• KEMailSettings Class

Some work has already been done for KConfigXT like feature, but that is still in the early stages and not ready to be used yet.
