that's a great question, and it has a very simple answer that is a bit more difficult to implement than it might at first seem, though it is completely possible to accomplish: a) coordinate more people triaging bugs. start with yourself if you can by volunteering a little time each week / month as you can to triage the bugs others submit. b) raise the accepted level of discourse from "confrontational is ok" to "constructive is a minimum expectation". this is a social issue, not a technical one, and it needs to come from a reasonable majority of those who are regularly involved (as reporters, triagers and software developers). the KDE Code of Conduct is a great place to start for measuring this, imho. c) spend less time blaming each other and more time working on solutions. this thread is the kind of thing that personally drives me nuts as i see a lot of "you're doing this wrong" being aimed at people who are doing lots of things "right", starting with spending their time creating and otherwise supporting Free software. in other words: more resources, better communication standards and less energy spent unnecessarilly aggravating each other. as someone else already pointed out, KDE is a participation based creative community. the best way to fix things is to participate in a constructive manner. -- Aaron J.
