Seems that they just have a different development philosophy that what lot of their users would like them to have. That's life.
It is just normal opensource community development process. I don't think that alpha-beta have any meaning in process where final result is not precisely defined, and that is first property of the community developed software. General framework is defined, but details are not. They are shaped on the go from the user feedback. Bugs as measure of status are of not much use. There will be some as long as developers are adding new features, and that is almost all the time. It is worth to remember that besides patches, which only minority can provide, detailed description of the missing feature, or expected workflow, and current status is what developers can use. Reference to KDE3 feature without specifics requires digging and guessing, and in time when they have plenty of scheduled, as it is right now, it will move request to the bottom of the todo list. My guess is that many users have problem with new names and relations between desktop elements, but I can't help much, as I'm one of those that are trying to get idea. Some pointers to documents will probably help a lot, but any developers, not only open source, are not known as good documentation writers. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
