Re: [Cooker] kdemoreartwork proposal (was: 9.1...Delayed)
I've been off cooker for a few weeks now but it seems now we're onto this bug voting thingy. How ridiculous. Bugs should be squashed as and when possible, not voted on. Bugzilla is such a nightmare to use that I will continue to do what I have always done...write to the cooker list with my bug reports and supply fix information if I have it. If Mandrake choose to do something about them great, if not, well I guess we will see how long they survive. I have been on the cooker list for a LONG time in total and done more than my fair share of beta/cooker testing and I do not like the way the system is heading, trying to distill down bug reporting and overulling direct interaction with the developers. This just bogs people down with the hassles of the newly implemented infrastructure. Development has to be EASY on the testers, otherwise they won't participate. I have participated very little in the discussions about 9.1 (though I have been keeping up with all the cooker updates) beacuse of the futility I've felt recently about communicating with Mandrake. I'm sure I am not alone in my sentiments. Regards, Jason Greenwood PS, I "voted" for your bug, whatever that means, even though once I ticked the box it was not abundantly clear what to click next!! So I just hit "enter" and that seemed to do it. Allotted a certain number of votes...hmph, then I will just post my other bugs to the list then...screwit. Timothy R.

I was stupefied by its exclusion in 9.0 =( Kde artwork is PART of KDE, my vote is leave it in Cheers Jason Timothy R.
