Third Plasma Summit Lifts KDE Desktop To Higher Grounds
,----[ Quote ]
| Plasmate is the working name for a new Plasma-addon development application.
| It provides a workflow-oriented tool to make it easy to create Plasma
| components such as widgets. By providing this kind of tool on top of
| scripting languages that can be used to create Plasma components, the plasma
| team aims to open development of Plasma add-ons to a much wider audience.
| Plasmate specifically targets programmers and designers that are currently
| focusing on web technologies. This way, JavaScript (or rather its ISO-
| standardized version ECMA) becomes a first-class citizen to develop Plasma
| components that can be shared across the network, for example using the new
| remote widget support or web services such as Get Hot New Stuff, the
| application-store functionality integrated into many KDE applications.

Openbox: A fun and lightweight window manager
,----[ Quote ]
| I am always on the lookout for a new way of doing things when it comes to
| personal computing, and one of the best ways to do so is to experiment with
| different window managers for Linux.

The Command Line Is Not Always Better
,----[ ]
| I started learning computers back when DOS was all that was available to me,
| so I was comfortable with the command line. When Windows 95 was released my
| command line usage dropped considerably because there simply wasn't the
| "need" for it that there once was. I've gone from using the command line all
| the time to using it very seldom because GUI's were getting better and
| becoming more wide spread.
|
| [...]
|
| Linux has come a long way and, if we are to see it take over the desktop, we
| need to avoid "pushing" the command line when a GUI will serve the same
| purpose. We also need to teach new users a method which works best for them
| instead of forcing a method which works best for us.

| But it doesn't cut it right now. Because I just had a good look at KMail and
| the work done by Szymon Stefanek during his Google summer of code project. He
| just catapulted KMail into this century ;-)
