Hello all,<br>
Very interesting discussion! We do have a framework for content from developers,<br>
please look in the 'Features' section. However, it does require content. Some<br>
developers write something special for us, but that is quite rare. It works<br>
better if we contact them directly. Until now we have only used featured<br>
articles, but I think it is a good idea to add an option wth a link to a blog<br>
post or any other material.<br>
<br>
How to make developers more active (they are already reading the digest,<br>
we know that :) is another good question and I am very curius of the ideas<br>
you may have.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<br>Intrigued I asked for more, here is what he said:<br><br>(I can give it a shot at editing it into somekind of article if it fits our purpose)<br><br><dhaumann><br>Up to KDE 4.9, the search & replace highlights stay, even if you close the<br>
search & replace bar. You had to press Escape to manually remove them.<br>
>From KDE 4.10 on, there will be a notification bar on the bottom of the view<br>
that tells the user the amount of search & replace matches. This bar stay<br>
visible for about 6 seconds, then it hides itself automatically. And then,<br>
i.e. after these 6 seconds, the search & replace highlights are also removed.<br>
<br>
I wrote "this is a sad day", since I personally liked the previous behavior a<br>
lot. But there seemed to be quite some users who never figured out that Escape<br>
was needed to remove these highlightings :)<br> </dhaumann><br><br>2)<br>Homerun¹, a fullscreen launcher developped by Shaun Reich and Aurélien Gateau, made its debut² release. Although it's currently at version 0.1.0, it already looks³ functional(4). Integration with Activities (5) is planned and other interesting ideas are afloat.
