Announcing the KDE Quality Team Project 389
Quique writes "The KDE Community is pleased to announce the launch of the Quality Team Project, a community of contributors who will serve as a gateway between developers and users in the KDE Project, and as a new way for people to begin contributing. KDE is a very attractive project, offering high quality software and is freely available. There is a lot of people who feel the urge to give something back, but stop in the middle of the way, frustrated by the steep learning curve. The aim of the project is to reduce these barriers by welcoming these potential contributors, and by offering documentation, support, and even guidance if requested. The objective is to support the new contributors, (programmers, documenters, testers, artists...). Have you ever wished to help KDE in some way, but never knew how? Keep reading!"

I don't mean to be snide, really, this time I don't, but I do feel a bit compelled to ask which particular alternate universe you're living in?

Rather, if you mean the relative amount of time it seems that I've been thrashing around in the 'quirkiness' (to be polite) that is the linux desktop

Ah, well, welcome back to our universe then, if not necessarily our reality.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go install Gaim, Gnumeric, Galeon, Grhino and Gtetrinet (gnome version of tetrinet, an internet tetris game).

Koffice - A cough you get at the office? :)
Killustrator - Shows you how to kill trators?
Kougar - Another name for KMountainLion?
Kroupware - For when you need to collaborate when you have a bad cough. Especially if it's that Koffice you cought (see above).
Kallery - No idea. I can't think of a pun. It must be a bad name
KTetris - No puns here either.

Gnome works just fine and--gasp--is actually responsive and snappy. KDE wants more sidebar buttons with every release, because when you look at the code, there is a lot of unoptimized C++ going on.

KDE will never be taken seriously because its name is a TLA? I guess we'd better tell IBM, the FBI, the CIA, the DEA, CBS, the NFL and thousands of other organizations that they're doomed to failure because of their names.
Maybe they should all rename themselves with words with meanings [reference.com] like "One of a fabled race of dwarflike creatures who live underground and guard treasure hoards." Then they'll be taken seriously.
