Dear people,

i actually believed i was a member of the kde webdevelopment team, and
being the designer of the layout i would have something to say regarding
the implementation.

Unfortunatly the past few days thougt me something totally different...

I was very keen on having the chance to take KDE a few steps forward,
and the website, which is the most common and important form of
promotion, to a level beyound any competition - even microsoft's website
these days. This was my dream.

I really wasted a lot of time in the past 3 weeks to making graphics,
ideas, writing guidlines for webmasters and thoughts of how to organize
the final implementation...i also regrettably neglected my money
bringing projects - for what? Nobody cared or even read my proposals.

It seems that nobody wants to hear my voice, and nobody cares of what
thoughts stand behind the current published state of my layout.

There were recently some websites published, showing the "new design" -
my new design. Showing me that people don't even think when they're
posting..

+ http://promo.kde.org/newsforge/kde-3.1.html 

Using elements of the "new layout" - even before it's done.
Showing the logo which still contains the "Alpha" brand.

+ http://usability.kde.org/newdesign/

Using a totally crapped sourcecode, this new "one panel" layout is
even less downwards compatile to resolutions than my first "two panel" 
alpha. Moreover this so called "layout" doesn't even implement font
faces, the css is more than the half size longer than mine... forgetting
about what wonderful heredity options even CSS 1 supports.
Being the website of the KDE usability team, i ask myself about the
intuitive navigation and style elements... 

Didn't we agree on using the "two pane" layout, like also the users on
kde-look voted for? Are the voices of users and kde promoters and
finally mine really that irrelevant?

If this is the case, i will quit any work i've done for kde so far, and
you are free to delete my cvs account and do with my stuff whatever you
want. 

Anyway, do you think it is a proper way to "upgrade" the website of the
biggest opensource project on earth by simply letting anybody posting
his stuff into a big hive amd by NOT comunicating with each other?
Do you really think this is the way to succeed the current state of
things?

Coming to the point:
If this trend continiues, that everybody is just taking my stuff or
making pages, layouts & co without talking to me about it - 
you have seen me the longest time.

greetings,

sebastian

PS. I attached a "one panel" version of my layout, for people to see
what benefits the other one has.... I definitly refuse to use it.
