I think some more notice would help there. I wasn't available on Saturday. I was surprised to see the day annoounced on a blog, but not on this list. Thanks for organizing it none-the-less :). > > In grand total we had five persons asking for help. I admit being > surprised about the seniority of those people, most of them were not long > timers.

If you have a list of people a newbie can ping for help and a list of tasks those people can understand and guide a newbie on, you could say that it's every weekend. Most people in #kde-devel would be able to help a newbie with, eg, 'should I replace this Q_WS_WIN with Q_OS_WIN?'. Thanks for the report, Steve. _______________________________________________ Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel
