@qgil I firmly believe that you are here as a community member.

I am sure all the changes were discussed in the short thread here on the forums (and likely other places as well, which is part of the communication problem being discussed in other threads). I am sure there were very solid reasons for combining things as they are now.

I just keep seeing things like "amount of threads/traffic/etc". I look in the OS2006 group and see 1 sticky and 4 threads. I look at the KDE link and see 3 pages of threads? In my prevoius post, I was trying to point out that whatever the logic was, it is not apparent to a mere end-user.

As an end-user, it seems to me it would be easier to find information if it were its own group (at least for the more popular alternatives), as oppossed to stikies, wikis, and "blackmagic" searches. Although I'm only an end-user, Ihave a knack for finding issues that only a couple of people have had before, and typically doesn't make it to a sticy or wiki (not enough traffic )

*I am not a mailing-list/irc/prorammer/web site designer/forum maintainer/etc guru. So I don't pretend to follow all the logic involved in some of these decisions. I am just voicing my un-educated opinion.

*to avoid any confusion or corrections: I consider an end-user in this case to be someone who wants to push their device by boldly going where others have gone before Just getting a little more out of their device by standing on the shoulders of others.

That being said, I will as requested, kindly devote no further time to the subject.
