Aaron Seigo on the Future of KDE
,----[ Quote ]
| Another example is the new direction for
| Krita, KOffice's rasterized graphic
| program. For a long time, Seigo says, the
| sub-project wasn't sure "If they were a
| drawing app, or maybe a photo retouching
| app, or what-the-hell were they?"
|
| At a recent developers' sprint, Krita
| enlisted design expert Peter Sikking, who
| has also worked with the GIMP, to help the
| sub-project find direction.

The Future of KDE
,----[ Quote ]
| This is an example of where I would like
| to see more effort put into the PR end of
| KDE. Instead of defending 4.0, move on and
| break down and hype up some of these new
| features! They are worth talking about â
| and they are worth explaining to potential
| users.

(Yet) Another redesign of Nautilus
,----[ Quote ]
| So Nautilus is long overdue for a redesign
| and many people like Izo and the
| elementary project have had a crack at
| what they think makes a good Nautilus and
| you will no doubt notice some similarities
| in design. I hear you scream âWell why are
| you jumping on the bandwagon and doing
| something others have already done?!â
| There are two reasons: firstly, I want to
| learn more about User Interface design and
| Human Computer Interaction â Nautilus is a
| fairly easy application to redesign.
| Secondly, this is going to be an example
| of why we need better user usage
| statistics, and how we can get them that I
| will be discussing at the next Ubuntu
| Developer Summit in Brussels next month.

My KDE desktop has been up for about 150 days now (no reboots/crashes).
Recent:
KDE 4.4 Positive Spin
,----[ Quote ]
| KDE 4 right now is an awesome desktop and
| doesnât need to retroactively justify the
| earlier releases.
|
| Instead focus on a clear listing of the
| improvements and features, and maybe even
| engage in a little self-depreciation and poke
| a bit of fun at the 4.0 release along the way.
| Let people know what they are missing today if
| they decide not to give KDE another look.
|
| Try to re-capture those that might have left
| KDE! Donât burn calories calling them liars â
| they obviously at one point cared enough to
| give 4.0 a try, I bet they could be convinced
| to give 4.4 a try as well âhopefully with a
| different result!
