I understood and appreciated that this discussion is about a long-term sustainable goal. It is not just a strategy for today just as the KDE manifesto is for a long-term and sustainable vision.

So, I find it hard to comprehend and read that nothing has changed. With the referendum, things have changed big times, more than ever as far as recent UK times are concerned. > > > Cheers, > > Eike > > Kind regards, > > Christian > > > On December 5, 2019 1:21:08 PM GMT+01:00, Christian Loosli < > k...@fuchsnet.ch> > wrote: > > >For me it's a rather simple calculation: if every contributor on planet > > >would > > >post as many articles on politics as e.g. you do, the planet would be > > >simply > > >overcrowded with it. > > > > > >Given we already have filters for languages, maybe there could be a > > >filter for > > >non-KDE stuff, so that people who to go planet.kde to read about, well, > > >KDE, > > >could filter all that stuff out. > > > > > >Kind regards, > > > > > >Christian > > > > > >Am Donnerstag, 5.
