If you're subcribed to plasma-devel mailing list, you will probably know that I have been dumping emails about global changes into this list, the last one being the one with subject "Thoughts about statusbar". In that thread some people asked why these kind of issues were discussed in plasma-devel mailist instead of for example in kde-usability. Well the thing is that in my opinion there is no right place to talk about this kind of things since some times they are not only about usability, so when I have an idea or I think that we should discuss about something that invovles the "overall experienice" I send it to plasma-devel since it is the mailist where most dekstop involved parties hangout. My proposal to solve this empty spot, is to create a working group focused in the overall experience within the desktop. This group should work much more like Plasma Active does, meaning a designer oriented development (correct me if I'm wrong). With KDE morphed into a community of subcommunities we need to create the "Desktop" community so we can gather all people interested in the topic and work together to continue working in what we do best, offer a unified experience across all applications.
The definition of what this workspace team should do or care about is something I'd like to do in a separate thread or irc meeting. As why I'm sending this email to plasma-devel/kwin/oxygen is because those are the main 3 teams working and spending thinking time in the desktop so it seems to me like a perfect starting point or organizing such thing. So, do you think that we need such team/working group/subcommunity ? do you feel that there is an empty spot as I do ? _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
