KDEvelopers on KDE Users

Posted by timothy on from the you-mean-we-have-users dept.

An anonymous reader writes: "KDE developers spent some time this week on their mailing list discussing what motivates them and the extent to which user concerns figure in their decisions. Dennis E. Powell's column on Linux and Main draws excerpts from the exchange, in which he participated, and says that he believes a lot more of this kind of discussion is needed."

  1. The source is out there. Change it. by nerpdawg · · Score: 0, Troll

    The source code is out there. It's free. The developers don't *have* to write it. You are *completely* free, and even welcome to change it to your heart's content. Don't tell them what to do. Do it yourself! If you think that users are getting the short end of the stick, I'm sure that they'd be quite happy for you to take whatever efforts you felt necessary to make users happier. I gaurantee it.

    If some code doesn't work as you want, don't bitch, don't post, avoid usenet, slashdot, and don't flame the developers. Fix it. Make the world a better place.
