Re: RFC: Minimum requirements for default applications

Rex Dieter wrote: As already said very often on IRC, both during and outside meetings, I think we should give more than just "a slight preference" for KDE applications, particularly for such core desktop/system services such as desktop integration for Bluetooth. We are a KDE spin, we should ship KDE applications whenever they aren't completely unshippable. They may be missing some feature the GNOME alternatives has, but they'll integrate much better into our KDE desktop, and for all those core services, upstream is actively working on making them better (e.g. KBluetooth has a new, very active maintainer now). And of course they have bugs, but so do the GNOME alternatives. Using a GNOME app is acceptable as a temporary workaround when there is really no KDE one we can ship instead, but not as a long-term solution. Pretty much all the minimum requirements listed on that wiki page are far beyond the minimum level of service required for the app to be shippable. Kevin Kofler
