Donations received by many projects aren't grown from soil. And no, I understand these scarce donations can not be considered like hiring devs who receive them, so of course devs don't owe anything to users. But again, if they are trying to make a widely used desktop environment they should pay some attention to certain reasonable claims from real world users and not just statements form computer science students or even experienced programmers who affirm html mails are evil just because in their strait world text mails are enough. I think eyecandy and some not too important plasmoids can wait, and manpower be concentrated on important things like Nepomuk, Akonadi or making Kmail a serious emaill client which can be used in enterprise environments (and I'm sure companies would make better donations than private users... if apps were just useful); but I am not thinking developers owe it to me because I once donated some euros; it's just a feature most users who use mail for work think any modern mail composer should have. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
