Volunteering to update the KDE Cafe Press Meta-Store

2018-02-14 Thread Scott Harvey
ptops. I'm willing to put in the time to get those products set up on Cafe Press. Plus, whatever markup is charged can go back to the KDE mothership as a simple form of fundraising. What do you think? Is this a worthwhile goal? I don't work, so I've got the time. Heck, I'd probably buy a coffee mug for myself. -Scott Harvey Chicago

I've got a Cafe Press shopkeeper account of my own. I might toss together a quick prototype store (hidden, private) just for feedback and idea-sharing.

One regrettable fact about using Cafe Press is that they’re not cheap. But I did research last summer when I was trying to sell some novelty t-shirts (sales: zero, let’s speak of it no more). CP’s prices are high, but they’re probably also the highest quality on the market. The truth is that non

They have an organic option, at least. I will try to find out about any certifications. I added the Home Folder design as an organic variation - it's significantly more expensive. https://www.cafepress.com/bdtokde/15230068 The problem with sites like those on the Ohio Fair Trade site is that they

Will it be possible to curate-separate things that are not compatible with Plasma 5? There's a lot of ancient stuff out there that's 10 years old and really shouldn't show up as available in the KNewStuff offerings for Plasma 5.13. Icon sets are the most visible example. On 07/16/2018 11:17 AM
