<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all KDE developers!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Over the course of our school semester we have been assigned the task of helping the development of Plasma Active, a task that has been very intriguing and interesting for all of us. We are a student group of six members that have been asked to improve the Plasma Active user experience in any way that we could, and have focused on two main aspects of the framework, namely the keyboard and the internet browser.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Please see details at: <a href="http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_UX_improvement_project" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_UX_improvement_project</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Being able to work with a framework and a design that bases itself on such revolutionary principles in innovative software such as Plasma Active, we have had a lot of fun working on the project, and as the semester comes toward a close, we would like some feedback from KDE developers to help us realize the potential and approval (or disproval) of our work.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Having produced design documents and simple prototypes to back our claims of what would be an improvement to an already groundbreaking framework; we would ask all interested developers to please give any feedback to us, so that we can build an even better project report for our final delivery.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We are somewhat delayed in our appeal to you all, as our deadline for this assignment is the 20<sup>th</sup> of May.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br>
</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hopefully you have some time to look at our designs and ideas and give us your thoughts on what we did right or wrong. Are these designs something you would have liked to work with or help develop further? Would the designs fit in with the already innovative and intuitive designs that Plasma Active facilitate? Seeing developers embrace the ideas and for the benefit of the community would mean a lot to us.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If this seems interesting to you, please reply with your thoughts on this. Any feedback is good feedback.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">On behalf of the entire student group, I thank you in advance for your help and cooperation. Keep up the awesome jobs you are doing!</span></p><p><span lang="EN-US">-<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:7pt"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US">Erik Joramo & Jana Majeed (Students at NITH, Norwegian School of Information Technology)</span></p>
