[edit] Talk archived
Talk page was getting difficult to follow and people were adding comments to sections which had been dead for three years. I've split the archives up into three sections: early commentary, a huge licensing flame war and later comments. Chris Cunningham 09:50, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Icon designer
The designer for the KDE icon was David Vignoni. I don't know where to include this in this article; perhaps someone else has a better idea. Stwalkerster 17:40, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Made TimeLine into a table
Put the timeline section into a table, looks neater in my opinion. feel free to change it back if you disagree.
Also I've put it on the Linux WikiProject page but I might as well put it here as well... We need a separate wikiproject for KDE and GNOME, anyone willing to start one or participate should reply to this or the aforementioned Linux project talk page.
[edit] History
Was KDE developed Specifically to replace CDE? The history on kde.org seems to sidestep the question, and I'm sure for good corporate relations they would not want to advertise that KDE is built on the failures of CDE. But the name KDE suggests that its a CDE replacement and I think a neutral Wikipedia article should cite sources confirming or denying the original intent here. Cuvtixo 16:27, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] please could somebody answer this b4 it is deleted?

[edit] Some reorganization is needed, badly
KDE 4 is out, but we should reorganize the KDE article instead of updating. I believe we should have the main article provide general information, history, and blurbs about present and past releases and have separate articles that are more in depth for KDE 3 and KDE 4 (Keep the current KDE 4 article, make a KDE 3 article). Articles with now outdated KDE 3 tech should be given a last update and programs in KDE 4 should have an update with new screenshots and icons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skeith (talk • contribs) 00:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Licensing-issues
Is it just me, or is the part about "licensing-issues" forced and arbitary? It seems like someone went out of their way to mention that point? Also, it contains claims that are somewhat unsubstantiated, like the claim that commercial apps usually use GTK+ instead of Qt. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.30.176.84 (talk) 15:56, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
