(that could be automated, if the reporter is still interested, he has to reopen) I got the impression, that many open bugs fall into one of the three categories. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

KDE is very well-maintained upstream & I've been using 3.5.6 since 070217 without any problems, so perhaps there needs to be a clearer sense of priorities for handling whatever bugs etc people are reporting. Dropping KDE would be catastrophic for Gentoo: I would probably go elsewhere, tho' very reluctantly. I could install it in /usr/local , but I doubt if that would be adequate for long. -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT`-O--O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-dev] KDE needs your help
The KDE team is still grossly understaffed. Most of the long term developers on the team are either gone or inactive, and the ones still working on it really need help. Bugs are piling up, patches are waiting, and package versions need bumped. I simply don't have the time to keep up with it anymore. I've been doing this for over 4 years now, and my interests have shifted to other things. If you are already a developer and can help the team, please feel free to join.
