I know bugs.kde.org, i can read and understand the things i read. But this is not the question - i understand the rant as an ask for help in the project. There must be reasons for the lack of active and not frustrated members of the project. If i ask for some help, i give the needed informations in a list or a project plan with issues, goals and known problems. I dont say: Ok, so you are willing to help us - search the needed informations by yourself. There is the general buglist. If you dont find anything usefull, you have to search the wiki.
If you want concrete help in a concrete project - point it out and say: There are the problems, in this point we need help. Any other behavior turns a willing helper in a frustrated reader. I like the idea of KDE for Windows, i like the idea to have kate, ocular, contact, kmail and so in Window. I'm willing to work for it - i'm not willing to search the needed informations from the scratch. _______________________________________________ Kde-windows mailing list Kde-windows@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-windows
