Hullos!<br>
<br>
In my recent wave of thinking about Kubuntu and how to make it clearer what<br>
exactly we are doing, I came to wonder why Kubuntu actually exists.<br>
<br>
Now, let me explain what I mean by that. Every project (every useful one<br>
anyway) is there to solve some problem or improve something, simply put a<br>
general justification for spending time on it. Kubuntu, being a useful project,<br>
must have some general justificaiton of existance, some problem, desire or<br>
similar.<br>
<br>
What I'd like to find out is exactly what Kubuntu is supposed to archive, and<br>
why other OS or distributions failed at it. Not so much by how we want to<br>
archive it or by what means we (want to) measure the successfulness of this.<br>
<br>
If everyone writes a couple of lines (some would call this brainstorming ;)),<br>
it might be easier to find a general definition as to why Kubuntu is existing<br>
and why it is good that it is existing.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br>At one time I thought the goals was to make Kubuntu the very best KDE distro as close to core KDE as possible, that Kubuntu was a close to vanilla KDE as possible. Howe I think this has since changed a lot of it due to Kubuntu moving closer to a core OS for Canonical it is moving to a KDE version of Ubuntu, with KDE as the core (including things like Ayatana, possibly a Kubuntu One, etc)<br>
<br>It's not just KDE on top of Ubuntu though, I've tried several other distros and it seems like KDE is an afetrthought where this is not the case with Kubuntu.<br><br>It's late so I hope this makes sense<br>
