Why not use bbpress / buddypress as the main websites are now powered by WordPress I believe? You can import too: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/ On Mon, 29 Oct 2018, 20:56 Luca Beltrame, wrote: > Il giorno Mon, 29 Oct 2018 18:31:54 + > Jonathan Ridd

Hi all, >From reading this and the linked discussion I'm unsure what the problem is? KDE does not in majority of cases ship directly to users, it does through distros. Surely the goal is to speak to distros, even the esoteric ones like kxstudio and find out what they and their users would like a

We're basically talking about KDE centric LUGS (KLUGS?) here aren't we. Whether hosted in an office at bluesystems or down the local pub once a week, that's really what they are, the meeting of likeminded people for fun and profit. Which should be more of a thing (I'd like to meet with kde users he

What brand? Because as far as I can see there is still serious confusion in the community over the recent rebranding efforts. I still see a lot of references to KDE5. On 25 Dec 2014 00:15, "Jonathan Riddell" wrote: > On Thu, Dec 25, 2014 at 12:52:41AM +0100, Aaron J. Seigo wrote: > > On Wednesday

To summarise and expand upon my thoughts on this given the feedback from a couple of you: Essentially I feel we should be concentrating on the promoting the versatility of KDE ecosphere, and what that means to you as the user. That's really what I was driving at when I was asking the question 'Wha

I wonder whether going forward we would be better served by asking the question of our users, 'What do you need KDE* to be for you?' Because essentially we are saying that with plasma 5 and kf5 it could be anything you want it to be. Maybe we should start by splitting this into commercial and con

Hi Peter, I did have the idea that I mentioned on here a while back of possibly setting up a job board, so people can apply for jobs, or submit their details (current occupation and experience etc.) if they're not sure where they would be useful, so they can be guided into certain areas. It would
