hi all ... there was some discussion on #plasma today about plasma-mid. the short story is that we got all excited about it at the last akademy and then subsequently got sidetracked from it when we all focused on making the traditional desktop rock a little harder. fair enough.
but we ought to turn some guns on plasma-mid as well, but only if we have them to spare. realistically, i'm already maxed out and can't give it the care, attention and love it will take to make plasma-mid all that it should be. i can be here to support that effort and even contribute, but for it to become a reality, someone needs to make it Their Baby. is there anyone on the list who'd be up for that? it would mean: * ensuring there's a coherent design for the netbook/mid style interface * watching patches as they go in * coordinating (not doing :) artwork and other design bits for it * communicating the needs of plasma-mid to the plasma community here on the list the good news is that there is already a pretty good start to things in playground and a lot of the work we're doing elsewhere is applicable so it's not a from-the-ground-up or you're-on-your-own project. it just needs a caretaker who can concentrate on it. if you're already busy with other important plasma things (yes, i'm looking at you marco ;) please don't shift your attention just because of this email. worst case scenario is plasma-mid sits for a little longer, best case is that someone with some time available each week who hasn't found "their niche" yet in plasma will be excited about helping create the future of netbooks and get obsessed with plasma-mid. :) -- Aaron J.
