[openbeos] Interview with Shamyl Zakariya

As seen on OSNews (beware the long URL):

This is a very interesting interview with a productive developer, formerly for BeOS. He did a PDF translator and a few other apps (http://www.bebits.com/devprofile/613), and was apparently involved somehow in BeUnited in the early days.

While the discussion mostly focuses on Slicker for KDE, he does discuss BeOS a bit, and this project looks like a very nice, new idea in UI design in any case. Perhaps his CardDesk could be ported to (Open)BeOS -- I know I've seen someone not too long back say they wish the DeskBar could slide down to a tab when not in use, and CardDesk would do just the trick. Also, it would be great if someone could coax Zakariya back into BeOS development, especially for OBOS R2 -- I'm sure he'd have some input (and quality code) to contribute.
