Hi,

Yep, if the article i= t's a short explanation it doesn't make sense to include an intervi= ew!

I like your idea, Jos, to have a continuous flow of communication about this= .=20 Regarding the increase of our communications channels, Linux.com or related= pages 'official' pages are a natural way to increase our audience,= if we want to keep the interview as an 'official' KDE=20 content.

But of course, I miss some things about the Linu= x english-written media! :D

Apart from that, I thin= k that it'll be nice to make some graphics about the impressive increas= e of velocity and the reduction of CPU usage that Baloo brings. This could = help us to 'sell' that Baloo is better and reflect that the Nepomuk= 'bad days' are gone in a factual way. It'll better if it can b= e included in the planned article.

What do you think?

Hi mart=EDn,

Thanks, that is a great idea. It won't fit as part of the article
itself (we want to keep that from getting too long) but it DOES fit in
a concerted effort to communicate about Baloo. We could either publish
this interview on the Dot a week, maybe two, after the first article
to keep some attention on Baloo (and make sure we answer questions
people have) or we could publish it roughly simultaneously in another
channel, for example linux.c= om (although I'm not too happy about the
visibility of original content there) or another site.

As a journalist, you might have an idea about how to reach the most people = ;-)

Absolutely. At the same time, as I point out, we should avoid making<= br> people thing it is a entirely-from-scratch project as they have
(rightfully) had enough of such projects - they will immediately bring
up Akonadi and "KDE 4.0". Our message needs to be carefully tuned= to
avoid the Nepomuk haters from immediately yelling at Baloo, yet not
create the impression we didn't learn from what went before.

Cheers,
Jos
