--- Comment #37 from Bernhard E. Reiter <bernh...@intevation.de> --- Hi Flossy Cat, thanks for taking the time and writing a long response, which I mostly have to think about. Except: > F5: In both bug reports I offered my help and support for implementation > as a seasoned computer engineer if I'm pointed to introductory material > or are guided. > No reaction to this offer … > CONCLUSION: Active support is either not wanted or needed. KDE welcomes people, needs and wants active support! The problem often is that if someone offers this on a specific defect is that (because of Moore's law) you often put more effort into the mentoring or guidance than to fix it yourself. Especially if the defect is a chain of technical decision and dependencies. Thus mentoring someone makes sense if there is high chance that this person wills stay within KDE at least for a while. Another aspect is that getting a development setup and putting contributions forward is already documented in general for KDE products. So anyone could (in principle) do it without guidance. You could just set this up, come up with patches for a code variant into mobile and desktop and contribute them without much specific interaction. (Yes I am fully aware that this is a suboptimal decision process when looking at it from a greater scale.) You could also propose a backport patch to OpenSuse LTS. To be more specfic: What kind of help would you need to come up with improvements on aspects? Getting to back on some other aspects, though it somehow gets beyond this issue.
