In order to help to solve the KDE3 issue in a constructive way:
As a member of the openSUSE KDE team I would like to appoint Basil Chupin as the leader of the effort to create an openSUSE team dedicated to KDE3.
So, do you accept?
What an honour! What an honour to have been put forward for this position out of the many, many candidates who have spoken out for KDE3. I feel so humbled - and feel so much for all the others who have been overlooked :-( .
Well, they could have stepped forward themselves. And still can. But, until then, as long there is nobody like that, I simply picked somebody who seemed to have the time and motivation (since that should be actually all that's needed).
There's at least one person with some motivation: <http://lists.kde.org/?t=125206735600002&r=1&w=2> Perhaps those of you that want to see KDE 3 maintained (and improved!) might collaborate to keep it in openSUSE. I know Debian has decided not to support simultaneous KDE 4 and KDE 3 installations and (K/X)Ubuntu will probably end up going the same way. It seems like openSUSE might be the BEST place to focus your efforts. I don't have the time to spend developing KDE so I've gotten fairly comfortable with KDE 4.2. The development (both upstream and downstream) is quite lively. They don't always work on what I need, but they give me stuff for free so I'm not complaining. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
