KDE wants your input

HI all,

Recently I wrote a blog post [0] about how I think Edubuntu and Linux
in general in Education really need to succeed for Linux/FLOSS to go
mainstream. In particular, we (Edubuntu) need to advocate for
educational users to open source software developers. Well, Aaron
Seigo, one of the lead developers of KDE, read it and has responded
[1]. He's asked for educator feedback on somethings he's been thinking
about and has created a wiki page [2] to brainstorm ideas for making
one of KDE 4's new technologies, plasma [3], work hard for education.
Anyway, I thought it might be of interest to the list.
