                  Hello Frances,<br class="">

                  Sorry for not answering earlier. My email borked and I

                  <br class="">
                  KDE used to be a synonym of that, but not anymore. KDE
                  now describes the <br class="">
                  community. And the community creates KDE the software,
                  which is not only the <br class="">
                  graphical desktop environment (which is now known as
                  "Plasma").<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  KDE does develop Plasma, the desktop, correct, but
                  also a bunch of popular <br class="">
                  apps, like Krita for digital artists; Kdenlive for
                  video editors; Kdevelop for <br class="">
                  developers; Okular for reading, annotating and signing
                  documents (like PDFs); <br class="">
                  LabPlot for data analysts; a full-featured web browser
                  called Falkon; an <br class="">
                  educational suite of activities for kids from 2 to 10
                  called GCompris; Kontact <br class="">
                  for managing email, calendars, contacts, etc.; ... It
                  is a very long list!<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  KDE also produces frameworks that facilitate
                  development. Probably the most <br class="">
                  popular of which right now is Kirigami, that helps
                  developers create software <br class="">
                  that works on all kinds of devices, like computers,
                  mobiles, TVs, car <br class="">
                  infotainment systems, etc. But Kirigami is not the
                  only framework either, but <br class="">
                  Ivan will be able to fill you in better than me.<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  <blockquote type="cite" class="">I wanted to emphasise

                  <br class="">
                  So, riffing off of Ivan's suggestion, maybe something
