[kde-solaris] Solaris and KDE

[Stefan Teleman]

Hi!

All is peaceful again in KDE Land. :-) The packages will be back in 
their usual place until i finish 3.1.2 or 3.1.3, which will replace 
them.

I would like to step up and ask everyone if they agree for me to be 
one of the official Solaris maintainers of KDE. I would be very 
honored to do this in an "official" role. I have a pretty fast Ultra 
60 at home (and i'm the only one using it :-), and i've been working 
on fixing khtml anyway (it's driving me nuts, i love it :-), so why 
not. Besides, i believe that an official maintainership of KDE 
Solaris will boost KDE's usage tremendously.

I also do not have any "territorial claims" over KDE on Solaris. 
Actually, in my 12+ years of software engineering experience (which 
is what i do for a living), i have learned that more than one pair of 
eyes are always better than just one. So, i would very much welcome a 
joint effort for maintaining/porting KDE to Solaris.

Please let me know. I hesitated to make this proposal until now 
because i did not want to come across as pushy or self-promoting.
