rk right for us
to be able to add all that "reason to use linux on the desktop" on top of.
this group, for me, is about the nuts and bolts and ensuring we're not all
working at odds with each other.
but the innovation we require will probably happen elsewhere. i'm not even
ual more likely to
use other open source applications), how they perceive those applications and
what the long term (2-5 year) affect on decision making that usage has would
be dreamy. realistically, i don't see that coming any time soon.

r migration?
- migration mark two. many kde applications use spaces or slashes in their
key names. this means lots of changes in code and lots of value migrations.
ergo items like "All characters with exception of the slash and the space are
allowed for preferences." are not fun.
