KDE 4 problems highlight shift from community users to consumers
,----[ Quote ]
| Large FOSS projects take note: Not only can you no longer assume that users
| will accept change. You may need to learn to live with the fact that many
| users will actively resist it, and will respond to it in the most adversarial
| way possible.

| It’s a scene I’ve seen several times at the Central West End Linux Users
| Group I help run in St. Louis — a new visitor to the LUG brings her busted
| Windows machine to the meeting, finally sick enough of that OS to install
| Linux. But first we have to recover whatever data is still sitting on the
| hard drive (thank you, Knoppix!).
|
| Over the years, I’ve found that most of the stuff on people’s hard drives
| just isn’t that important to them. Documents, bookmarks, music, videos — they
| (most of the time) just don’t freak if it’s gone for good. They’re not happy,
| but they’re not in tears either. With one exception: pictures.
|
| If pictures are unrecoverable, then people get very upset. Not at the members
| of the LUG who are helping them, but at themselves — for not backing up — and
| at fate, for causing their hard drives to fail.

KDE on KDE 4.0
,----[ Quote ]
| In the following article we would like to
| address some common misconceptions about KDE 4 as we see it. As we firmly
| believe in KDE 4 and the future of the Free Desktop, we expected the heated
| discussions about KDE4 and especially the 4.0 release to go away - and we
| were wrong about that.

KDE Everywhere
,----[ Quote ]
| KDE4 will go there even some steps future with it's by-design cross-platform,
| modular and innovative architecture while KDE3 keeps on to be the perfect
| super-stable super-long-time branch for next few years where only bugfixes
| are allowed to land. What a good starting point into the age of the
| world-wide digital freedom.
