KDE On Friday, KDE officially launched its version of Dell's IdeaStorm - KDE Brainstorm. In less than 24 hours, over 100 new ideas were proposed. "Getting the non-developer and developer communities really communicating is often a challenge, and KDE's approach is a great start. Developers now have an opportunity to hear what end-users want."

"Another source of less than stellar packages are Red Hat/Fedora, a well known 3rd party project have existed for years working on delivering a decent KDE desktop."

Sorry but that is completely incorrect information. Rex Dieter and others who used to the run the kde-redhat repository are the same people who are co-maintaining the official Fedora KDE packages and Rex Dieter was even a Fedora Board member and continues to be part of the release engineering team in Fedora.

The KDE Red Hat repository still exists but it is used for prototyping updates and experimental changes by the Fedora KDE team.

Sorry but that is completely incorrect information.

And which part of "a 3rd party project having delivering KDE packages for years" is incorrect? Even your link to the interview of Rex Dieter confirms it, so calling it incorrect are rather far fetched.

That he on some point in time was a official Fedora packager does not change it, the kde-redhat project had already delivered for years at that time. Current status does not change those facts, or make them any less correct. But it's positive the situation is improving in the RH/fedora land.

Yes, it was a third party repo many years back and no, it was not because the official sources were not "stellar" which was the OP's main point.
