Will The Canoniclique Finally Listen To Kubuntu?
,----[ Quote ]
| In any event, one of my first tasks on Brainstorm was to query for "KDE"
| and "Kubuntu" ideas, but I found only one: Idea #478 - Support kubuntu and
| kde the way you support ubuntu and gnome. Fine. It's about as well-expressed
| an idea as I could have hoped for, and a good candidate for merging the
| duplicate questions into. But what's been interesting is watching the early
| resistance from GNOME users, not so much in the comments, but in the bouncing
| score. While I don't have the time to check in often, it's gone from zero to
| 18 to zero in just the short time I've been observing. Currently, it sits at
| 34. I wonder where it will be when I finish typing this?
|
| Why the resistance? KDE is an excellent desktop. While it may not be the
| Ubuntu default, it's still undeniably popular, having won
| LinuxQuestions.org's Desktop Environment of the Year for the seventh
| consecutive year in a row. The same survey saw K3B, Amarok and Konqueror win
| resounding victories against their non-KDE counterparts.

GNOME 2.22.0 Release Candidate (2.21.92) Released!
,----[ Quote ]
| This is the last unstable release before 2.22.0. It's been a pretty fun
| ride since September. New features. Bug fixes. Translations.
| Documentation. Lots of bug triaging too. And we're getting ready to
| start again for 2.23! But before, we need to make sure 2.22.0 will be
| rock-solid. There's still a few days before the hard code freeze, so
| it's not too late to fix this last bug you're ashamed of ;-)
