managing time line mismatches

,----[ Quote ]
| In a blog entry last week I talked about 
| three challenges that arise as the number 
| of individual groups participating in KDE 
| has grown: time line mismatches, 
| differentiation pressures and 
| confidentiality requirements.

How Nokia Learned to Love Openness

,----[ Quote ]
| Another reason the geeks in the crowd were 
| getting so excited was that the keynote was 
| given by Matthias Ettrich, who occupies an 
| important place in the free software 
| pantheon, since he started and led the KDE 
| project in the beginning. When I 
| interviewed him nearly ten years ago, he 
| told me how the name came about.
| 
| He said he wanted to create a Linux Desktop 
| Environment (LDE) without calling it that; 
| he couldn't call it MDE, since that would 
| look like Matthias' Desktop Environment, so 
| he choose the suitably neutral K Desktop 
| Environment.

Hidden Linux : Learning to love KDE 4 (part II)

,----[ Quote ]
| The main difference between KDE 3 and KDE 4
| is that the former is fixed and static
| while the latter is dynamic and
| interactive. For a trivial example of that
| go to System Settings / Desktop / All
| Effects and activate Snow. Now hitting the
| Meta+Ctrl+F12 keys (or Win+Ctrl+F12) will
| fill your desktop with falling snowflakes.
|
| [...]
|
| In short, Plasma and KDE 4 allow you to
| build your own interactive desktop. If that
| seems a little daunting, check out what
| others have done ...
