Hi David,
not necessarily, but given your involvement I am sure you could comment on
- what are the strength of the KDE Frameworks
- what is the advantage compared to the previous kdelibs
- where is KF5 used? Also outside KDE?
- how will a transition to Qt6 look like? Smoothly or big break?
...
Greetings
Dominik
