Please do not tell people interested in working on Qt/KDE apps in Universe #ubuntu-motu is the wrong channel

[Steven Harms]

I think you are mislead by the term "Masters of the Universe".  At no
point is everyone in #ubuntu-motu a domain specific expert on every
facet of every type of package.  For expert advice, you probably want
to join channels dedicated to that subject.

I see MOTU as a channel for general questions and questions regarding
generic packaging and preferences, and specific channels for detailed
oriented.  I don't think anyone says you can't ask on both forums, nor
kicked anyone from the channel.
