This seems incorrect, given Shaun's work on Plasma - and after the \
discussion in this thread  this should be known by now.

Wouldn't it be an idea to get manpower on KDM? Maybe a better idea than to \
invest time in  lightDM...

So my suggestion: let's stop discussing about lightDM and evaluate what we \
have and what we  need. Let's do it properly and honestly. Then let's look \
what can be done in KDM and how we  can shuffle resources there. And only \
iff that does not work, let's discuss a different DM. And  also let's think \
about the future. Developing a new DM for X when we are about to switch to  \
Wayland makes me want to move my palm against my head ;-)

To me this whole issue was unknown until the thread was started and that \
most likely means  that it has not been raised on the appropriate \
mailinglists. I don't know if it has been raised  towards Ossi, but if he \
does not have the time there is always the option to bring the discussion  \
to the plasma mailing list (where you can mostly find all Workspace \
interested developers) or on  this list here. Though as it is workspace \
related, Plasma should be the first choice.

Cheers
Martin
