The two main desktops both have their place since they handle many things differently,

forward (competition is good!). I agree that much more could be done in working together with common infrastructure - e.g. like both Akanodi and Evolution developed in the last 12 months their own new IMAP libraries
Also, I've heard last year that changing the installation to make KDE the default installed desktop would bring us so many KDE developers that help to polish the openSUSE KDE desktop. I'm not seeing
;-(. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15711 was the Akonadi project's request 2 years ago to host itself at freedesktop.org, as a first step to becoming a shared standard. It was stonewalled until the team gave up in disgust and was closed WONTFIX with some spurious justifications. After a while you just give up and take your toys home. Unilaterally occupying the freedesktop.org namespace seems to be a privilege reserved for GNOME projects. that many new faces I have 2 responses to that. One is that you're probably not looking in the right place. I grant you that the direct participation of upstream KDE developers in the openSUSE project has been limited. However, openSUSE has become much more popular within the KDE developers which is indirectly increasing the quality of our desktop. This strategy has been highly successful in increasing the popularity of openSUSE among KDE /users/ and has decreased prejudice against openSUSE. Secondly, the implementation and communication of 'default desktop selection' was as weak as humany possible (GNOME still first in the list, Zonker and news.o.o backpedalling while making the announcement) to minimise the hurt to our GNOME community while still respecting the strong demand expressed in the FATE feature. We executed this feature in such a half-hearted way, it's no surprise that it weakened the attraction of the *project* to those the selection was intended to appeal to.
