just keep in mind that we are all just VOLUNTEERS with a FULL-TIME job as well.
If "all" is indeed true, it's still easier said than done. IIUC, openSUSE has a substantial paid staff in the form of SLE people. Also it's a large distribution. Such characteristics make it hard for some people to notice or remember who is really speaking at any given time, though we do sometimes get clues in the form of novell.com, suse.de or suse.com email addresses. Some things are definitely not a lot of fun. That doesn't mean they don't need doing anyway. One of the unfuns seems to be accepting criticism as feedback on what needs doing, didn't (yet) get done, or might never get done, particularly WRT the whole of KDE, upstreams (including QT) and down. KDE people on the whole seem particularly sensitive, trying to take every complaint first as disappreciation for the effort contributed before seeing it as descriptions of shortcomings in results of efforts. Those results, or lack thereof, are what smack users in the face and provoke the feedback (expected here on opensuse-factory as a devel forum more than a help forum), not the contributions underlying the results. Puters are tools. For most users of most tools, functionality matters far more than pretty, if pretty even matters at all. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
