Hello, there has been set up a new list called kde-optimize@kde.org, dedicated to working on optimizing KDE (the subscribe address is the usual kde-optimize-request@kde.org). I'd like to stress the word 'working'. This mailing list is not for people who would only complain (or other similar things that wouldn't result in something useful). In other words, this list is for developers, who are willing to actively work on optimizing KDE, or who have the knowledge to help others with doing so (I guess that means you can also try your luck if you need to advice with optimizing your app). As a futile attempt to make sure nobody misses the thing written in the previous paragraph, I'll put next to it this: http://dforce.sh.cvut.cz/~seli/download/tips.html (It's a page with a handful of tips how to make your KDE start faster/use less memory, mostly based on an older mail from me. Feel free to send me more good tips.) If you qualify only as Joe User (no offense), that's the only possibly interesting thing for you in this mail. -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE CR, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org Drahobejlova 27 tel: +420 2 9654 2373 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 2 9654 2374 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/
