KDE Blogs 

Last week I updated my notebook from Ubuntu Hoary to Breezy. I was very pleasantly suprised when I noticed that they decided to make the "Simple Browser" profile of konqueror the default profile. I added it one and a half year ago to konqueror in cvs and now finally it seems people start using it :-) Read More

Jeffrey Stedfast is strengthening FUD about KDE developers on some planets. Strange that in the first paragraph he only cites a point for proof, Novell dropping KDE on certain products, which actually was true last week. Read More

Learning applied to a finite set of knowledge (knowledge base or KB), such as the interaction and functionality of an interface, can be described in a sigmoid curve. It helps describe the learning process, as well as visualize "the learning curve" and "memory retention" humps in beginner and advanced users. Read More

so, KDE suffers from bloat, over-engineering and user confusion. apparently. personally, i never thought that to be the case until now, but, there are others who seem to hold these beliefs to be self-evident. i respect everyone's opinions and beliefs, even though they may be different than, or opposite to, my own.

I let on somewhere that I'll like to see keyboard configuration in KDE be greatly improved, and since then a few people have been trying to catch me, hold me down and get me to elaborate. So I'm going to shotgun this one out into blogsphere(?) and see what happens. Read More

I've been quite taken aback by all the recent fuss about some default install option for KDE changing on a single distribution. I thought it might be a good time to post this quote about how Enterprise Software is boring. Read More

klik User's FAQ work continued. Today "Scope" section. The IT and Linux press is slowly becoming aware of klik. They visit us in #klik, ask questions, write us e-mails, want interviews, request articles, publish articles themselves. Like the nice one that is currently on Linux.com (even picked up by OSnews). -- Today's local preview: Read More

James Ogley writes: "NLD is Novell's enterprise desktop product, I'm pretty sure it's always used GNOME". James, you obviously don't know Novell's products well. Neither is GNOME the only desktop on Novell Linux Desktop 9, nor is it the default. And judging from the bug reports and hearsay there are customers using KDE on NLD. It will be interesting what Novell will tell them. Read More

I found on Hans Nowak's "Effectos Speciales" a mention of the map of SoC mentors and students This is the first time I see it. OK, no deep philosophical reflections on this, but let me put out a few observations: Read More

Work on the klik User's FAQ continued. This morning I completed the "Installation" section. This evening followed the "File Format" one. The plan to add at least one new section each day during the next two weeks so far is met. It will be hard to stay on target, because lots of distractions are scheduled already, and multiple days where I'm not sure to be able to be online. -- Today's local preview: Read More
