@Bertrand: I never updated the Ubuntu one. I think Jono would be sad if I got rid of the blue hair :-P

I know that comment is kind of irrelevant, but how come your hackergotchi on Planet KDE is so much better than the one you use on Planet Ubuntu?
I feel so left out :/

I would like to see a generic framework, at the KDE config level or hopefully at the generic desktop environment level, where one can switch current profiles. For example, one senario if one is an frequent video editor he or she would have cinellera/kdenlive, audicatity, gimp [allong with the related settiwith a generic framework for this and an open API the current desktop could be set the the profile and applications could respond to this [the raptor menu would have a menu for frequent profile applications].

I think a generic framework would be neccesary because the applications are rarely an independent usage senario. Using the phd user profile from Okular, the PhD student may use Firefox with Zotero, with Writer/some form of latex, and Okular for reading full screen.

Am I sending this to the wrong place… if so then please send me an email with an suggestion where to send it.

Kopete is my favorie app :) I use it heven for IRC. Having the multiple contacts in just one place is a defently plus.

Usbility wise I think some improvments could be made like, more visual user friendly wizards.
Bit more work on drag on drop contacts, (not working all the time).
Bit more work on the UI polishing.
The possibility to have plasma like chat windows (kids would love that).

I’M prety sure you will do a great work there celeste.
