Ok so some good criticism from IRC that I thought I should document here for posterity:
[15:57] <sebas> - criticism: "Plasma is not good enough for professional use" [15:58] <sebas> - people complaining "but this is supposed to be a just for fun thing, nothing serious! I hate you now!" [15:58] <bshah> jensreu: point #3 : This is plasma vision and in 3rd detail you say.. "A perfomant desktop..." [15:58] <sebas> We can meet both with sensible arguments, just needs to be thought through [15:59] <bshah> jensreu: so I would rephrase 3rd detail completely... just not sure how [16:01] <jensreu> bshah: would "performant user interface" work better? [16:01] <bshah> depends on if we consider Plasma technology or user interface.. [16:01] <jensreu> sebas: yeah true, should we soften the "professional" bit? [16:02] <sebas> yes, please try (not sure it'll work, but I'm curious what you can come up with) On Monday, 4 April 2016 15:45:30 CEST Jens Reuterberg wrote: > Hey, so me and Thomas have been hard at work on this for a while now and I > think we are at a good point to show what we got. > > Please remember that THIS IS JUST A DRAFT!
