So, 2FA for people who area able to actually mess stuff up, absolutely, we have responsibility here and that's fine, but for casual contributors, that is precisely the sort of thing that just outright makes people go "lol no" and go away again, and is that really something we can afford? I absolutely applaud the attempt at increasing out trustworthiness as a community, and 2FA for people who can actually push things certainly helps us get to that, but i also can't help but notice that the particular choice of making it a blanket community involvement requirement, that is, in this particular case, was made with a somewhat narrow focus, so... just thought i'd lend my voice to the "Yeah, please don't make our hard won casual contributors go away before they even get here". -- ..dan / leinir.. http://leinir.dk/

Software freedom is certainly an important thing, but it does seem to suffer (however it was originally intended) somewhat from forgetting that software is only a part of the situation. Digital Autonomy has a much broader scope, and is much more in line with what KDE's mission statement says about people having control over their own digital life and enjoys freedom and privacy. So yes, definitely, just as a term, digital autonomy rings much clearer to me than software freedom. As you also say, i'm not about to abandon the term entirely, it is a really solid descriptor when talking about specifically software, and how "open source" is just not the same as "free software".

We have attempted to come up with something else which encapsulates the concept of what Get Hot New Stuff does, and the problem is that it is not just application addons. GHNS (and the underlying Open Collaboration Services API) makes no requirements on which specific types of content are distributed using it, and so we end up in a situation where switching to a more specific names reduces the concept. We /could/ of course go all buzzwordy on it and call it something like Content Store, but that just makes it seem like it's only inactive consumption stuff, or we could call it Application Addons, but that does not suggest it could also be used for something like comic books or other types of creative writing (of course i'm going to use a personal example, Peruse uses GHNS for its book store). It is not that i am particularly against finding another name, but it has to be extremely good and wide ranging as a term to encapsulates what GHNS does for it to be a good replacement, and while i would be pleased to be proven wrong, i find myself doubtful that we can find something which is objectively better than Get Hot New Stuff to such a degree that what mindshare it already has becomes discardable.

Now, if a simple(ish) script can be created to make something akin to the kde: rewriting work, even if what it really does is to search gitlab and create a clone with the appropriate command, i could deal with that, but having the ability to simply ask for the project name is more than a little useful. -- ..dan / leinir.. http://leinir.dk/

There is, in fact, methods built into the website already where anybody with an opendesktop.org account can report both spam and malicious content. It would be quite useful to have that information spread around a bit, yes :) Specifically, this is done by clicking the report links in the Details panel (see screenshot), and the reports are then handled by the opendesktop.org team. If you mean something which they've found that needs the moderation team to look at it, then no, there isn't anything yet, But we ought to be able to put a way together to just flag items for the moderation team's interest, because yes, that certainly would be handy :) > What do you think?

Maybe they’re not so useful after all. :D Exactly, the curators are there to help ensure that the stuff that shows up Plasma and other apps' dialogues will, in fact, work.

We are not curators in that sense, that is what the voting system is for. Of course, we can certainly give comments to the authors, just like any other community member, but being a moderator does /not/ give us any right to think our view on the fluffier concepts is any more worthy than others (as Scott also comments on). The only quality note which this moderation is supposed to be for is technical quality. Say, for example, an item is in fact an icon theme, but isn't packaged in a way that Plasma can consume - that is still an icon theme and should stay downloadable from the website, but it makes no sense to see it in the Get New Icon Themes dialogue, and so we can mark it as excluded from GHNS. This is also, of course, why we need both guidelines and instructions for moderators, so we can avoid confusion about responsibilities and whatnot :) > Cheers > > Nicolas > > On 16.07.2018 11:39, Dan Leinir Turthra Jensen wrote: > > Hello chums :) > > > >One of the challenges of having a library of resources is to maintain > >it > > > > clean of spam and in general any content that doesn't comply with what we > > want to have there. > > > >The software running store.kde.org recently gained the possibility to > >have a> > > group of people who can moderate contents and reviews. > > > >This is a call for action for those of you would like to contribute to > >KDE > > > > by helping to make sure our users have the best resources selection > > available, free of worry to find undesired contents. > > > >Please reply if you'd like to help, either with the store as a whole, > >or > > > > even just a specific category, and we will see together what's the best > > way to proceed. > > > >Thank you! :D -- ..dan / leinir.. http://leinir.dk/

Re: Help us with curating store.kde.org
It will be, yes. Initially we can simply mark it to not show up on Plasma clients (that is what the two patches linked from the task here are about: https://phabricator.kde.org/T6133 ). Later we will be able to add dependency and version information, but for now we can simply mark the things that are not useable from the Get New X dialogues. Indeed, that is an important part of the curating process: The data will still be visible on the website, but with those patches we become able to hide things that don't make sense in e.g. Plasma :) On Monday, 16 July 2018 21:20:44 BST Scott Harvey wrote: > Will it be possible to curate-separate things that are not compatible > with Plasma 5?

Help us with curating store.kde.org
Hello chums :) One of the challenges of having a library of resources is to maintain it clean of spam and in general any content that doesn't comply with what we want to have there. The software running store.kde.org recently gained the possibility to have a group of people who can moderate contents and reviews. This is a call for action for those of you would like to contribute to KDE by helping to make sure our users have the best resources selection available, free of worry to find undesired contents.

Re: KDE at Qt World Summit (QtWS) 2017 final update: Info pad
Hi from me as well :) If you have something you would like to add to our demoloops (it'll be going on a 43" screen in our booth), please get it to me by Monday evening time, and preferably before then so i don't have to rush too much. This can either be a short (<2 minute, no sound) video, or screenshots. As a guide, please read the end of the text Eike sent to see the message we're trying to send. Thanks! :) On Friday, 6 October 2017 00:11:53 BST Eike Hein wrote: > Hi, > > if you're curious about what the KDE event team for Qt World Summit > 2017 is up to, you can find updated information on this live pad: > > https://notes.kde.org/p/QtWS2017 > > I've attached a static copy. > > If you're on the team, you've already received this information > seperately.

While i'm sure we'd all like to see KDE's software all over the world and so on, is world domination (said with my tongue stuck firmly in my cheek) actually something that's a part of our vision? For myself, i'm simply not sure, but this does seem to be a question that'd need to be considered. -- ..dan / leinir.. http://leinir.dk/ ___ kde-community mailing list kde-community@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
Re: [kde-community] Phabricator - critical terminology
Hi Ben, i fairly expect given the timing of this email, that while i may not be the only one to have confused terminology and the like, i am likely the catalyst for your sending this email. Having no wish to assign blame on this topic either way (or, perhaps, wishing to take a large amount of it due to laziness on my part), i should explain why i sent the particular request i did: The sysadmin ticket system landing page. I had the desire to move my project peruse from its current location on github to the kde infrastructure, and knowing this should be done with a sysadmin request, i went to make one such. On the ticket creation page, i saw two options which seemed likely for this. One which in friendly fashion said "Use this department to request a new git repository", and one which said, simply "Phabricator". While i now suspect i should have used the latter option, given the nice, straight forward description you give in your email, what was available on the ticket creation page led me to assume that to move a git repository to KDE's infrastructure, i would need to use the git repository request option. Might i perhaps be so bold as to suggest adding a version of what you write here to the ticket creation page? Because the way you describe it here makes it very nice and clear, but i had not seen this description before, and that makes me, personally, just a little sad - i honestly try to not be stupid when taking on tasks like this ;) On Thursday 21 January 2016 21:05:35 Ben Cooksley wrote: > Hi everyone, > > In the Phabricator requests sysadmin is getting, as well as the > conversation on IRC i'm noticing a disturbing trend where people are > not aware of the critical distinction between Projects and > Repositories and are using the terms interchangably. > > These two are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT concepts in Phabricator, so it is > critical everyone distinguishes between what they are. > > Repositories are containers of source code, run using a VCS (Git, > Subversion, Mercurial, etc).
