KDE Apps name trademarks

[Hannah von Reth]

Hi,

As Christoph said the issue is not about getting applications to the store.

In KDE4 days we basically had everything KDE offered available for download.
Maybe 10% of that stuff was usable.

An important step we mention in the Phabricator ticket regarding the 
publishing is:

- some testing has been done

Someone, ideally someone who knows the applications ins and outs, has to 
test the app on Windows.

Additionally the team behind that application should have a strong 
commitment to support Windows
and fix the bugs that definitely will be reported for Windows.

Providing builds on binary factory is a service we provide to the KDE 
community,
but "it compiles on Windows" != "it works as intended and is fully 
supported on Windows".

In my opinion stuff we promote in the store should be pretty stable and 
well supported.

So no point in flooding the store....

Cheers,

Hannah
