My trip was fine, and tokamak 3 was really, really awesome. I had a great time, and I think we all accomlished a lot. I haven't blogged about it yet, since I had some other stuff going on this weekend, but I will blog about it tomorrow. > As such, the tone of this article is pretty bold.

Ok, I've been busy with personal stuff this weekend and have only just been able to check my mail and haven't even been able to catch up the lack of sleep I built up on Tokamak, soI'm tired now, and I should probably read the whole article again tomorrow, but here are some small nitpicks I found when reading the introduction and the part about my work: "Last week, the fourth Plasma developers meeting was held in Randa".... fourth? "Dutch Plasma hacker Rob Scheepmakers" I usually work alone while building boats ;) Without the last 's' please :p "Under the hood, a number of technologies for communicating, concerting and announcing local services" I thing instead of concerting, orchestrating would be the word you're looking for. "the ZeroConf protocol is used" I think it's just Zeroconf (no capital C) "The remote widget support is another long-planned feature planned for Plasma ..." a long-planned feature planned... it's not incorrect, but somehow I think this sentence could be a little prettier by not using the word planned twice in the space of three words. Ok, I'll see again tomorrow if I spot some more errors when I'm finally fully rested. Overall it seemed to be a nice and well written article that really conveys how much we've accomplished at tokamak. I'm really honored to be part of a team of such awesome developers... you guys rock. :) Regards, Rob _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
