[Kst] Entry for kst on kde.org/applications (was: Re: [Kde-extra-gear] This list and associated website will be ending in one week)

[Barth Netterfield]

Hi, Friedrich

The Link extragear.kde.org/apps/kst/ can die, but we would really like to keep 
our current page at kst.kde.org (and, it turns out, kst-plot.kde.org).  It is 
the apps main page, and where we send everyone.  Is this possible?  I really 
don't know how we came to have our own subdomain, but it is nice :-)

We are happy to also have a page at kde.org/applications, and I can send you a 
json for it.  BUT: these pages seem to be rather limited, and not the main 
page of most applications.  The existing kde.org/application pages should at 
least also link to the application's main page.

For example kstars, which is a reasonably high profile project: 

	-they have their own page at https://edu.kde.org/kstars/ which appears to 
be their main page.  It has all the stuff you need, like how to install, etc.

	-the page at https://www.kde.org/applications/education/kstars/
doesn't point to it, and seems more like an entry in a list of applications; I 
am not sure what the purpose of that page is, except to know that the 
application exists.  There is no way of knowing how to install the 
application, etc.

Anyway, let me know where this is all going.

Thanks!
