Well, I’m typing NEO here

But since all keyboards are usually qwertz in this part of the world them kids better start with that now, I’d say.
But at least my boy knows of the existenz of alternative layouts

Are they giving the kids choices of decent layouts like colemak or dvorak or are they shoehorning them into the garbage that is qwerty? My touch typing classes were all completely worthless to me because when I actually came to care about typing, the first thing I did was unlearn qwerty.

Actually that does help a little. ;D
and I`m certainly not impatient, I`m trying to install linux on those machines for about 2 years. hopefully my work as a kde-developer will boost linux adoption there. =)
And congrats on your achievements. happy to read. =)

Cool! When our eldest was in the first year of high school, the ICT teacher told her to get Windows in order to do her homework properly, and if she couldn’t, to stay behind after class and do it on the school computers. She, being a kid of ours, was stubborn and did as much of the work as possible on Linux and scraped a passing grade.

Two years later, this same teacher is asking this same kid to convert the assignments that he and another student have already converted to OpenOffice to Google Docs to see what can and can’t be done with that. There is some hope, it seems; though the school is still Windows-only.

Maybe something like a “first-start-wizard” which shows the changes on one side, but gives also the option to choose the settings that the application looks and works like before. I must admit I was also astonished and had to look how kmail works. What I find even more important was the missing ability to import my old settings. I had to manually copy the config files and cvreate partly the config again (or did I miss an option ?)

Your blog post prompted me to post a reply about this too, and it seams I’m not the only one. Great to see someone is working on the documentation!

Thank you for doing this! I would love to have KDE better documented. Please don’t stop

Sounds like a great idea! I will definitely contribute to documentation one day as I know how important it is!

This is fantastic. Documentation sure is one of the weakest points of KDE. I’ve also tried to start helping with this but currently I just can’t find the time to also work on this. Maybe we should organize the second KDE Documentation meeting at Akademy this year. Something similar to the one in Erlangen in 2000. There we could try to find some ways how to make this way of contributing to KDE more popular. Anyways, keep up the great work, it is much appreciated.
