I think you don't undestand what is KDE KDE is a global opensource community, involving developers, artists, translators, packagers, distros shipping the project's WorkSpaces, so I am kde, YOU are KDE and Albert is KDE. If you don't understand that KDE is more than a bunch of developers creating a set of woskspaces and applications, then everything will fail. > > >> No, you don't.

Obviously there's none perfect QA procedure and every project knows how comlicated is sometimes to get hands helping Why we don't join efforts?
