you have a valid point.

this also has to be discussed.

shouldn't we know the existence of the bugs?

I meant that people with such a move will see that KDE is frameworks
with a desktop enviroment and not just a desktop enviroment

let me add to this,that all the decisions of the plasma community
should be taken with the consideration of the thread the "utter
failure of bugzilla"

i love the plasmate and i have set us a personal goal to be ready
until the end of summer.I will not start coding in something else
before the plasmate is ready and even then i don't think that i will
leave it.I like the idea of working constantly in a project and as we
have discussed in the #plasma i want the plasma SDK to reach its
maximum potential.I am not leaving the plasmate coding :)

I couldn't say these better..
These points are very valid and we should work with these as a MUST!

Do you want to keep kdeplasma-addons as it is and to create a new
place for the plasma coders or to alter the kdeplasma-addons?
