Is Shift already using KDE4?

I have some time to do plasma widgets or some app interfaces if there is need for those.

I'll get with the team and see what we need. Thanks for your offer! :)

I agree. I am sorry that I have been lax lately. I've been involved in other things and now am in England on a holiday for a week or so. But I will have a blitz before long, promise.

However, it'd be good, as you say, to get more people involved. People who could contribute based on their special expertise. If we want to sell Shift to lots of people with lots of different interests, then we've got to get the wiki speaking to all those sorts of people, with information on things like using Shift for dtp, music, programming, video, animation, etc. Not just the standard things like web browsing and internet and basic office functions. Shift can be a one-stop shop for just about anyone with any needs. That all needs to be there in the wiki. Kreuger and I can only contribute where our own expertise is strong, but there are heaps other areas where specialised input from other people would really move us forward. :yes:

I suggest that we actually open things up a bit, advertise the wiki more to people we think can make it better, get them involved too. Keeping the Shift wiki as tightly 'closed' as Shift itself is not, IMO, the way to go.

There's the Archlinux wiki, its great and complete.

Can I suggest that shift should use archlinux wiki and also it should have access to the AUR?

I mean, the web should be a frontend for this, it should say that it's shift linux, but must show up the archlinux web contents... maybe ask for some kind of merge?

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
    • CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
