I'm fine with Krita and Plan taking everything. The money needs to work and not gather dust. And Krita seems a worthy candidate. If the donor agrees I don't know, but I would certainly support it.

Hi,

The KDE e.V. board still sits on this money, since there's almost nothing happening in calligra land. Of everything that used to be Calligra, only Plan and Krita show activity. Kexi also seems dormant. But the board needs to spend that money, so what should we do?

Not that I want to be greedy, but if Calligra cannot spend it on anything, I'm find with taking a larger share for Krita... And is there a way to spend it on Plan?

Cheers,

Halla Rempt
