Re: KDE and Google

Unlike Mozilla, whose development was originally Netscape-centric, KDE has a strong tradition of volunteer run development, with only a few paid developers in its history. Hence, there wouldn't be an easy way of setting up partnership...

As for your specific examples... IMHO, it's against everything KDE stands for: a well integrated desktop that gives you control over data, using open data interchange standards. You'd be replacing high-quality, high-integration, standards-following apps like KMail, using IMAP/POP3/SMTP; KOffice using OpenDocument, with web apps using proprietary technologies, with unclear privacy implications to boot.
