[edit] Notability

In response to the Template:Notability, I added the following sentence:

Waf was subject to some attention when the KDE project decided to use Waf as its primary build system, although later, that decision was revoked. [1]

I'm leaving the template in place, though. I'm not sure about notability: KDE is a major OSS project, and it's significant what build system they use. But admittedly they made the decision, started using it, and then had second thoughts (as explained in the linked-to text). Anyway, others can now make a more informed decision on the notability issue. 193.99.145.162 17:00, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

BKsys was started as a scons improvement for KDE. But scons is known for having issues with big projects; it does not scale well. It became clear that improving scons won't help, so waf was born. However, waf was in its infancy when KDE was about to choose an alternative to scons, and thus it wasn't a viable option. I put this information in the article, and subsequently removed the template. --80.121.29.56 23:42, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Since Waf is new, there are not many notable users at this point. Removed the template.--80.121.59.223 14:53, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
