Hi all, I agree in the point that some form of critical feedback could help us to improve our software. However I am wondering if there are not better ways to do that. I am for a transparent communication process but this could be too much in public adressing the "wrong" people. Having the discussion focused on the future may help (to focus on how the software should look like or act like or something), but I read too many "you should do this and that" posts and mails in the last weeks. Perhaps we should refocus the brainstorm section in the forums. There you can put write about your improvements and whishes. Perhaps a dot article or a blogpost series could focus on successful input, or a summary of data (xx ideas submitted, yy evaluated, zz realized) or just ask for more (if it is successful from the perspective of users, developers and forum moderators). Or an interview with one of the involved. KDE is "share the love" :-) (Please do not ask for hate *g*) Cheers, Thomas _______________________________________________ This message is from the kde-promo mailing list.
