Another belated ping. I've just mentioned Kile to friends and whilst they downloaded it because of my recommedation, multiple people mentioned they disliked the design of the website.

xyquadrat added a comment to T14028: Yearly Report 2020.

It seems to me as if we'd want to place the deadline agressively early compared to last year. Publishing something about 2019 in September 2020 does seem a bit disconnected, "late to the party". Now I know that there are often more pressing tasks at hand than the e.V. report, but still, I'd say we should try to get this done by the end of April if possible. Earlier is always better, of course :)

xyquadrat added a comment to T11933: Debrand KDE Applications as Release Service.

And for (sub)releases that happen inbetween - those are 99% of the time bugfix releases either way, no? Looking at the changelogs for 20.08.1/2/3, they do not seem to contain something that'd warrant a separate article - so then we just can keep doing it the way we do right now, have a changelog and site for them but not a fully-fledged release announcement.

xyquadrat added a comment to T7926: Proposed workflow timeline for software-related announcements.

The conditions around releases have changed quite a lot since this task was opened. We now are editing announcement texts on GitLab, allowing all Promo members (and others) to easily contribute. Reaching out to developers is also usually necessary any more, since we have now implemented the "Noteworthy" label, which should ideally replace this. The Plasma 5.20 announcement process has been much smoother as well. I'd therefore close this task tomorrow if no further objections are raised.

Generally, I think that the concept of "let's plan our upcoming posts" is a great idea. Although I do wonder if it wouldn't be better to use the Calendar feature from Phabricator for that? (and in the future, maybe a matrix calendar integration, that'd be even cooler)

The additional features I have mentioned in T13595#239528 are probably more advanced, but I would still consider including them since your casual user will not see the Appstream description at all. Mostly users who are looking for a better file manager will encounter the text we are working on, and this user group is probably more knowledgeable than the average.

xyquadrat added a comment to T13595: Improve Dolphin homepage.

Features:

Navigation (or breadcrumb) bar for URLs, allowing you to quickly navigate through the hierarchy of files and folders.

Most people probably don't think of URLs when browsing through files. Also, is that a special feature? As far as I know basically every file manager has a similar navigation bar.

Supports several different kinds of view styles and properties and allows you to configure the view exactly how you want it.

Maybe add examples (icons, detailed list) for "view styles"

Split view, allowing you to easily copy or move files between locations.
Additional information and shortcuts are available as dock-able panels, allowing you to move them around freely and display exactly what you want.
Multiple tab support

"Tabs support" instead, since there have to be multiple tabs by definition for this to be useful.

Informational dialogues are displayed in an unobtrusive way.

Is that a feature that differentiates Dolphin from other file managers? In my opinion this could be dropped.

Undo/redo support

Rather minor.

Transparent network access through the KIO system.

Reword as "Easily access remote file shares as if they were local through the powerful KIO system" or similar ("network access" is quite abstract)
