Re: KDE: inclusion

Just a very personal comment on this idea: I would think that the
software needs something different than a wider audience. November last
year, ie. over 2 months ago, I described 2 bugs in kmemaid: not even a
comment on this, let alone fixes. memaid has no serious import (beside a
buggy queue.txt thing), no export, no printing, no support, no real
external documentation, no internal documentation, no error-free
installation ... and you want more people, many of which can hardly
spell Bob backwards, computer-wise, to use kmemaid? You must be kidding.

No offend intended on the following: memaid is not a project, it's a
hack (for those who grew up with Unix, they know that "hack" is not
negative, it can even be a *very* positive comment).

More people using kmemaid mean more help-requests, more problems, more
work. The current crew is not even capable to handle the few requests,
David has announced to move on to new borders, and the software is a
hack.

Are you serious about your idea? Or was this just a very early April,
1st gimmick?

Again, no offense intended with the above. Just some thinking.
