Re: KDE Applications 17.04 annoucement ready for comments

Thanks, Albert! There's a typo in this sentence:

"If you are teaching or leaning to play music, you have to check out
> Minuet."
>

"leaning" should be "learning".

Also, I would suggest to move the following part from the intro:

"Kajongg, KCachegrind and more (Release Notes) have now been ported to KDE
Frameworks 5. We look forward to your feedback and insight into the newest
features introduced with this release.

We have discontinued the following packages: pim-storage-service-manager
and kommander. This will help us focus on the rest of the code.

K3b has joined the KDE Applications release."

and place it under the "And more!" subheading, because it doesn't make much
sense to just tack it onto the introductory paragraph without any
connecting thoughts/information.

Instead of that, you could end the introduction with a modified version of
Paul's sentence, and just write "Enjoy your new software made by KDE!", or
something like that. Just a suggestion, of course; you don't have to. :)

Cheers,
Ivana Isadora
