--- Comment #275 from Nate Graham <pointedst...@zoho.com> --- Michael, I understand your frustration, but aiming verbal abuse at the people who you are expecting to perform work for free on an item of your choice isn't the best way to get it done. There are currently 27,250 open bugs across all of KDE (not including feature requests and wishlist items)[1]. This seems like an important one, to be sure, but it competes with 27,249 others. If you want to get this done faster, you're always welcome to submit a patch using http://phabricator.kde.org/. If you don't feel up to the task, perhaps you could locate someone else willing and able to have a look? Or polish your own C++ and Qt skills. 5 months ago I had never written a line or c++ in my life, yet by today I've had dozens of patches accepted: https://phabricator.kde.org/people/commits/11806/ But please understand that FOSS projects like this one (And GNOME, and Cinnamon) are always limited for resources. The absolute best way to improve this situation is to lend some resources of your own to the effort. Possible avenues include submitting patches, screening bugs, donating financially[2], etc. But posting anger and negativity in bug reports works against your desire because it makes people *less* likely to do the work. I am an unpaid volunteer. I am choosing to screen bugs like these for the benefit of others instead of playing with my kids right now on this lovely Saturday afternoon. Do you think it makes me want to screen bugs more or less when I wake up to an email notification that people like me "don't actually listen to their software users" and that the organization I choose to work on for no money is "entirely inept at dealing with monitor and windows placement" Don't let cynicism and negativity drag you down. Nothing improves without effort. There's a huge amount to do here--climb aboard, and we'd be happy to have you! https://www.kde.org/get-involved https://www.kde.org/develop [1] https://bugs.kde.org/weekly-bug-summary.cgi [2] https://www.kde.org/donations -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
