Will The Canoniclique Finally Listen To Kubuntu?
http://menpro.blogspot.com –
One of my first tasks on Brainstorm was to query for "KDE" and "Kubuntu" ideas, but I found only one: Idea #478 - Support kubuntu and kde the way you support ubuntu and gnome. Fine.

But what's been interesting is watching the early resistance from GNOME users, not so much in the comments, but in the bouncing score.

Bazaar-o World
http://blog.linuxtoday.com –
When I was growing up in Indiana, a bazaar was akin to a fancified garage sale--right in there with white elephant sales. Now, of course, having been a part of this community for almost a decade, whenever I hear "bazaar," the counter-image of a huge gothic cathedral immediately pops into my head.
