You are aware that you mostly scream at developers who do this job without payment, just because they want ? You want to dictate them what they have to do in their spare time ? Please try to use a communication style, you would also use when these friendly developers are sitting right in front of you. thanks adrian Am Mittwoch, 18. März 2009 01:40:31 schrieb Oliver:
Hi,
I don't believe that you wrote what you wrote. If you mean, that the holy developer have to be holy and the producing of any software is just for playing around and have a good time, THAN DON'T SALE that stuff and play with it!
If Novell is pronouncing KDE 4 as a stable system ready for work, THAN I want exactly THAT for the money I paid for and not that kiddy-scripting- just-clicking-and-crashing-better-than-windows stuff!
If you mean, that everybody who need to criticism something about KDE, have to develop or help, change your business!
If you are not able to develop a stable system, don't talk about features, stupid or not! And, if you mean KDE4 IS stable, sleep well or learn too develop!
After 15 years with SuSE, I'm really fed up with such an answer I read too often in the last few months escpecially about KDE4!
Outside of your little world are enough user who give you the honor to use the software you produce. So open your ears and hear what they say. Without the user outside there is no need for developers! And there is also no need, that everybody who use openSource-Software have to help to develop it.
Wake up and change your mind. The time is really over that Linux and every derivates is just for hacker and script-cracker. Answers like yours are one of the reason why Linux don't arrives more user than until now.

... every time i go back to playing&poking around in KDE 4 i find the following:
- one piece of eyecandy that i havent seen before that makes me go "oooh pretty cool" - one function that i am used to have in KDE3 and am kind of dependant on, and that makes me go "oh this is seriously broken"
in the last iteration of this i found: - amarok being able to get music from jamendo - kontact / korganizer not showing appointments that span whole days
now what is more important? free music or a working calendar?
You seem to have misunderstood a few things.
Do you have any reason to think your problems are openSUSE specific? If not, there's no point in ranting about them here, instead you should file proper bug reports for your problems upstream, if they haven't already been reported.
And Amarok developers can't magically be reassigned to work on kdepim - they might not have the interest or the expertise. Just like you can't easily be reassigned to doing more constructive things than trolling on a mailing list. You do understand that most of these developers are not paid by anybody?
If you bothered to follow KDE4 development instead of obsessing about KDE3 you'd see that KDE4 has tons of nice features that KDE3 doesn't, and that KDE4 is continually improving at an amazing pace, even though you're not helping.
