Now, to set some logic straight: - If this really was about making things simpler for _new_ users, the default desktop should be GNOME, not KDE.
It is not. It is about the perception in the KDE community that it is not treated fairly. The UI itself, even though it is part of the problem, is not significant in comparison to that. Especially since according to the statistics we have only a low number of new users anyway. What you mistakenly see as a contradiction is different people expressing their opinion and some of them valuing more new users than (existing or potential) contributors.
- If this is about a majority of the userbase demanding special treatment for _their_ desktop of choice come on out and say so openly, but don't use a transparent pretext, pretending this was all for the good of the project.
It is about the minority of the userbase not demanding special treatment for their desktop of choice. Or anybody else for that matter. But since you seem to so much believe in how you see the situation that you not only disagree with the position of the other side (which would be ok) but you don't even know what the position is, there is apparently no point in discussing this with you. -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer -------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 084 672 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
