Hi Everyone, Some background to the discussion: Mycroft Plasmoid is a graphical user interface for Mycroft which is an open source community committed technology that ties natural language processing, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and powerful APIs together to create a powerful experience allowing users to manipulate their devices through voice control. Mycroft is the digital implementation of a modern day virtual assistant on the Linux Platform that can help a user conduct a multitude of task via voice and also behave as an accessibility provider.
Coming to the discussion: The mycroft plasmoid currently lives within the plasma-mycroft repository hosted on KDE Infrastructure and has an active project under phabricator as Mycroft integration, This applet is currently in playground and I would like to move this from playground to stable releases and hence would be putting this project under KDE Review, since the first step as per the Application Lifecycle (https://comunity.kde.org/Policies/Application_Lifecycle) process under KDE Review seems to be deciding the project path in repo-metadata. I understand there is "extra-gears" where i can do self releases and "plasma addons", which i am keenly interested in for release for this plasmoid so I would like to initiate a discussion on where this project should live and what are the plasma team's view on this. Apart from the above discussion and being fairly new to this process I admittedly don't understand the release cycle process of stuff in plasma so if someone could also help with these points would be really helpful: - What is the duration between each stable release for plasmoids/applets and how does the version system work for plasmoid releases ? I found this document: https://community.kde.org/Schedules/Release_Schedules_Guide but it seems more for applications than for plasmoids - Also are bugfixes allowed for plasmoids in an already released stable, as mycroft-core is a product outside the scope of KDE release cycle and upstream mycroft could introduce a new feature or bug that can break some functionality how would such an event generally be dealt with in stable ? Look forward to hearing from the plasma team on this topic of discussion and the path that can be appropriate for this project. Regards, Aditya
