Certainly, a big thanks for your volunteer work. > If you are a user who wants to help, becoming active in the forums I find the forums rather juvenile with a high noise/signal ratio. > and with open bugs reports is a good way to get yourself noticed. Could you give a bit more detail of the kind of help a user might offer with bug reports (apart from making them: smile) ? > I would hate to see Gentoo dropping KDE all together > because nobody has the time to maintain it. KDE is very well-maintained upstream & I've been using 3.5.6 since 070217 without any problems, so perhaps there needs to be a clearer sense of priorities for handling whatever bugs etc people are reporting. Dropping KDE would be catastrophic for Gentoo: I would probably go elsewhere, tho' very reluctantly. I could install it in /usr/local , but I doubt if that would be adequate for long. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
