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

[Friedrich W. H. Kossebau]

Hi,

to get the entry for kst on kde.org/applications done I now simply copied some 
text from the kst homepage and it is live now

So please check https://www.kde.org/applications/education/kst/ to see where 
things need corrections or improvements (screenshot still TODO, going to copy 
the one from https://kst-plot.kde.org/, https://kst-plot.kde.org/3-pics.png)

("education" is not the perfect fit. But perhaps the best among the current 
set of categories. This one-category-per-app hopefully will be improved in the 
near future, perhaps by copying the approach used in the app start menus in 
the workspace).
