Troubles for the Kubuntu project: a number of Kubuntu developers are complaining that Canonical is not answering their requests. They state: "We all from the kubuntu.de-team have pursued this aim [to improve Kubuntu] together, but most of the work has been done by Andreas Mueller (amu). He is not only co-founder and unpayed developer of the Kubuntu-project, but he's also hosting this website and he's taking over all the arising expenses. During our endeavours for Kubuntu, there were made several requests to Canonical. All those requests are unanswered 'till today! Up to now, there is only one payed developer. Since Canonical ignores all our personal and partly financial engagement until now we have to assume that Canonical is not willing to make Kubuntu a '1st class distribution'."

I agree with siki_miki.
Canonical and Mark have said things about Kubuntu improving etc but have given it so little attention. If this sort of thing continues I certainly will swap to another distro which would be a pity because I have loved kubuntu and ubuntu's ways.
But why only focus all attention on gnome? Linux is about choice.
As for jriddell, I've liked his work and support for KDE/Kubuntu however his/your comments I found to be very poor.
Move/along nothing to see - please. People are not stupid. Kubuntu.de's complaints were not about an account not being created but about no answers or feedback from Canonical. No communication between Canonical and community supported Kubuntu. That is a BIG problem.
I understand they are perhaps making it bigger and threatining is not the best way to do that but jriddell don't make things seem like theres no problem when Kubuntu uses like myself have noticed for ages how Mark has backed Kubuntu verbally but not in any other way.
