Because it was created in a different process by the Akademy team, I don't know the exact number of people, but I'd guess that they are around 4, and I guess they wanted to get it done. Having more people in the team would of course be nice :-) Seriously, I think the majority of KDE contributors are still coders, and in general most of them don't have much spare time left.

It was very comprehensive. If a problem needed to be solved we fired up the database, and was given a list company wide of who possessed the skills. The KDE project being the size it is should definitely have something like this.

Community input and HELP was ignored." You're shouting again, Mike. And you should realize that the people who put together this brochure _are_ part of the community. What have you done to become part of the community? [ Reply To This | View ] Re: ugh... by mike on Friday 14/Mar/2008, @14:31 > What have you done to become part of the community? I do not write code. hope you find my contributions worthy: I happen to volunteer time refurbishing computers to redistribute to low income families. While most have ubuntu installed quite a few try kubuntu. The three volunteers in our shop all use KDE and promote it. I also have submitted many KDE bug reports, art work and do a lot of KDE translation work for two languages. notice i post anonymously. so no, I'm not going to specifically point out everything I've done over the 3 years ive been a kde user. You can believe me or not. > _are_ part of the community yes. I can tell arguing with you would be exhausting.
