Unprofessional text in plasmoids for download

[Alexis Ménard]

As Aaron said in the bug report, it is provided by kde-look.

If you want something happen it should be on the website BEFORE they appear
online.

Can you propose us a solution (technical or not) for the KDE/Plasma side to
basically check if the content is ok? A spellchecker? A my
sentenceMakeSenseChecker? It's impossible for us to check that.

So obviously this is not the right place to deal with that but more with
people that take care of kde-look.

I would say please keep a category where i can do whatever i want including
bad comments just to let people trying.

As you probably noticed the applets we ship in KDE have a proper comment
because we checked same BEFORE it end up in packages, same it has to be one
BEFORE it goes online on kde-look.
