One person on their own can’t do everything:

• artwork
• sound affects
• i18n and i10n
• menus
• config
• documentation
• tutorials, information, etc
• support for users: email, bug reports, IRC, aKademy, blogs, news sheets.

Talk about common desktop, bringing Gnome and KDE together.

The “coder decides” rule (a free-for-all … ?)

KDE 4:

• Dolphin - file manager.
• Phonon - sound system.
• Solid - hardware management.
• Nepomuk/Strigi - meta data, uses RDF triples, for data files.
• Plasma Desktop and Workspace. https://aseigo.blogspot.com/. Design you own desktop.
• All games must use SVG graphics.
• KDE 4 libraries very different from KDE 3, large parts of applications may need rewriting.

Programs:

• kgoldrunner package. Clone of Lode Runner.
• kmymoney2
• digiKam
• Gwenview
• palapeli
• kigo - front end to gnugo - chess.
