Plasma does not communicate as well as you imply, speaking as a person who is trying to get involved in Plasma and help fix things, there is so much resistance. Reviews are slow, replies on maliing lists (such as this one) can be very condescending instantly blaming an entire team for a lack of communication and most ML threads seem to derail into arguments. Have you discussed the weather LCD applet with the team before denying the request. I've not seen anything? Either you haven't, and have just decided on behalf of your entire team which isn't a good example of communication, or there's a communication channel which doesn't include me...which again isn't a good example of good inclusive communication. The real reason this happened this sort of things happens is because Plasma does not have an attitude of everyone doing reviews. Everyone will just follow the example set by everyone else. It's the perfect way of increasing communication between everyone so we all know what's going on. Especially once we've entered such a beta phase. David Edmundson > -- > Aaron J.
