List,
At novell, are the same people that did KDE3 development, bug squashing, etc. (support) the same folks that are supporting KDE4 or were separate teams used? They are the same group of KDE developers.
Why do you ask?
Well it seemed that there was a complete disconnect from the stalwart goals of a KDE project, efficiency and user-customization. My impression from working with these guys on Beta5 bugs was that the past goals of KDE have been demoted to nothing more than luke-warm concerns.
Providing the most efficient desktop by minimizing the number of extraneous clicks or key+combo+clicks required has always been a primary concern to the design and to the devs I've worked with in the past on bug issues. Being the "Most Customizable Desktop", I was surprised to get ambivalence when asking how to set my icon text width for konqueror to 525 px. I got a you can't do it response and that my choices were small, medium and large now???
It just seemed to me that the old developers that were committed to efficiency of use and customization were not there anymore and they had been replaced by techs that didn't know what the goal for the desktop were. That's why I asked.
