And this is where the whole summer program philosophy has turned the system backwards: Most OS contributors just have an itch they need to fix and they just contribute a fix. The GSoC model has turned the tables around where people just want to find something to fix given that KDE is accepting students. This proposal makes sense to the proposer so the proposer should be able to implement it and submit a merge request. If the developers do not like it, that is a plausible outcome. Ultimately, it is a matter of the KDE community backing up the fix rather than the KDE community approving for someone to implement the fix.</div><div><br></div><div>David E.
