Hello,

as some might have noticed i'm going trough the old plasma reports and close 
quite a lot. On the same time i assign the bugs to the right plasma component 
etc.
I'm doing this that the people that wrote the code can more easely fix their 
code because they don't have to go trough alot of invalid bugreports.
So this is my call to you, everybody that wrote some code, go and check your 
bugreports and try to fix them. There are really alot of bugreports that are 
easy to fix, if you wrote the code.
For those not familiar with bugzilla, you can find the different plasma 
components here:
https://bugs.kde.org/component-report.cgi?product=plasma

I would really like to see a few of the most reported bugs fixed. It really 
isn't that much fun to triage bugs if each day one has to close at least 5 
times duplicates of bugs like:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199325
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200847
etc.
And if bugs are not fun for bug triagers, they are even less for users.
Especialy the basic components of plasma, like:
panel, taskbar, systray, kickoff
really need some love. If there are bugs in a weather plasmoid users will 
understand, if a basic component has a bug, a little less.

So if anybody needs me to triage his bugs, please tell me, it will be a 
pleasure to do so.

have a nice day and happy bugfixing
