Oh and then we should post a dot article that is made like those ads from animal shelters which ask for people to adopt an animal: "Meet Bouncy Ball. He's a cute little Plasmoid, so full of energy that he likes to bounce around all day! Sadly, his former owner lost interest in him and unless we find a new family for him, he will have to be euthanized". Maybe we'll find some people willing to adopt (= maintain) some Plasmoids they like. Then if a Plasmoid doesn't find a maintainer, we can kill it and if people complain we can say "We've asked for someone to maintain it, nobody stepped up, there's nothing we can do". I'd volunteer to contribute some descriptions, I think it would be fun ;) _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
