Yeah, one example: search that actually works. On https://forum.kde.org/kexi when I type TABLE I get results for Amarok, KMail, Okular, even VDG. Maybe 3 for Kexi. People search, do not browse, especially if they're confronted with a large hierarchy. Isn't that an idea for GSoC or whatever action? -- regards, Jaroslaw Staniek KDE: : A world-wide network of software engineers, artists, writers, translators : and facilitators committed to Free Software development - http://kde.org Calligra Suite: : A graphic art and office suite - http://calligra.org Kexi: : A visual database apps builder - http://calligra.org/kexi Qt Certified Specialist: : http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek _______________________________________________ kde-community mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
