Hello Tom

Nice to hear from you.

Well, my discussion with Kevin and Randy turned around the fact that usability 
and user experience of the KDE printing tools could be improved. I concluded 
that Linspire might have a database of user reports, or migh have done (or 
have intention to do) scientific usability studies.

Thus, the KDE community would be very pleased to collaborate with Linspire in 
this kind of work. I must say that I didn't have occasions to use Linspire, 
but I gather that a large part of KDE is directly used as is in your 
products. So, all improvements in KDE are automatically reflected in 
Linspire. Thus, I believe that it would be very beneficial to all of us, 
those involved in this discussion, if Linspire would provide results of 
usability studies or, even better, the code modifications resulted from such.

This is a first step. There are many other possibilities of cooperation, and I 
think we would come to them in time.

Thanks a lot for your attention.
