David, could you address what you are missing? I'll file bug reports and see if it can be added. Go through bugzilla, the KDE devs are for the most part very helpful in adding the missing features.
Not trying to be smart, but the KDE devs should KNOW what is missing.
How? Their goal was not to recode KDE 3.x and if 3.x has something that _you_ feel is missing then speak up. Everything that the KDE devs felt is missing has been or is being addressed. Same for everything that _I_ feel is missing, as can be seen in the bug reports that I've filed (literally, over one hundred)
That's the problem. They "released" KDE4 way before it was ready and now WE have to go through and figure out what THEY forgot?
That's what a community is. Not US vs THEM.
That's not how it works. I try to give back to the community by doing what testing I can, but I don't have time to sit down and do their job for them.
Then don't code. But if you feel that something is missing, then say what it is.
They are well aware of what doesn't work and what is missing. A large percentage of users have been complaining since they released KDE4.
And still I have not heard what is missing? The wallpaper? The colour of the icons? The Modifier Keys applet? The bugs in Konqueror? What?
I helped to push for the inclusion of KDE3 in 11.1. I don't have the time or the interest to test KDE4( or other things I don't use like openoffice, kaffine, amorak, beagle, etc). I test what I use and give feedback on that as it is needed. I haven't had time to even fully test any of the RC's or Betas yet.
Like I have said before, I'm not against KDE4. I'm just not able to use it as it is now. That's why I have suggested that 11.1 be delayed til 4.2 is released. They are backporting most of the stuff anyway, but doesn't it make sense to get the best, most usable system you can? This is a BIG part of the distro, so it's not like we are waiting on Firefox or something else.
When you tell us what you feel is missing, I will address it. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü
