[Kde-games-devel] README.PACKAGERS

[Eugene Trounev]

About time someone noticed :P

But seriously - I didn't ever think of doing anything on my own accord. We did 
discuss this at akademy this year, and Matt did post a recap here, for 
everyone to read.
Moreover I just thought I'll make a *first step* towards fulfilling our 
resolution, and am planning to put it up for a discussion at our very next 
meeting (Dec 1st, or around that time).
There is no need to make a big deal out of this, as nothing official has been 
done. This files are nothing more then text files with some text in them; they 
won't be of any use until we make an official announcement to the distros, 
which we have not. So, no harm done.
As for the choices - I've only put them there as an example, nothing more.

P.S.: Ktuberling's gona get a new theme this release. And a splendid one too. 
Invested 3 weeks into development, and now it's ready, (almost) complete with 
sounds :D
