Which is not that bad ;) The more developers there are for KDE, the faster =
it=20
gets better. Everyone who can code is invited to join, so are you :)

Yes. A general mailing list like this one does not scale for feature=20
discussions (it would be flooded these days, and no one would read it). The=
re=20
are a lot of dedicated mailing lists (see=20
http://www.kde.org/mailinglists/#{dedicated, application}) where single=20
feature discussions might be more welcome (sorry, no one for Kicker). But b=
ug=20
reports (includes whishes) are a place to discuss things, too (plus they he=
lp=20
the responsible developers collecting and organizing all the whishes and=20
bugs, so none gets lost).=20

Please adopt to the bug report system, it works out :) Simply browse a litt=
le=20
on http://bugs.kde.org and see yourself.
