Re: Beginner-friendly projects

I agree that it's not very useful right now. I would recommend expanding it, because some projects truly are more beginner-friendly than others, just due to the nature of the code itself. However in the absence of that effort, removing it would probably make sense. Nate On 5/29/20 9:54 AM,

Re: reddit r_KDE uses KDE logo in LGBT colors
