Promo/Guidance/General KDE Talking Points

Warning

This page is outdated.

This page is far from done and needs a lot of work. Inspiration could come from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_13_Talking_Points Moreover the content from the Whitepaper project should end up here as well.

Hot topics, good answers

In the Strategy Section you will find answers to typical questions and information on how to talk about some subjects like Akonadi and Nepomuk.

Wow features

Things to talk about or demonstrate that make KDE software better than the competition

• KWin desktop effects
  • Bling: Cover Flow switcher
  • Useful: Desktop grid combined with expose type effect
• Folder View
  • quick and easy access to all kinds of real and virtual (think Nepomuk, network shares, etc) folders
  • WOW: you can have more than one on your desktop - scrollable and you can digg down by hovering your mouse. Far more efficient than a bunch of random files on the desktop...
  • Quickly drag'n'drop a folder on the desktop, create folderview, work from it, close it. No copying of files, yet everything on the desktop. Works great with activities!
• Kopete
  • All your chat accounts in one app
• Amarok
  • Wikipedia, Flickr, YouTube integration
  • Magnatune - buy your music right here
• Digikam
  • Brilliant editor built in
  • Export to everywhere with kipi
• KRunner
  • You computer is smart - type what you want to do/use
• Marble
  • OpenStreetMap
• Gwenview
• KIO
  • Audiocd - "copy" files straight from the CD
  • Fish
• Microblog widget
• Kwallet
• Plasma flexibility - build your own workspace
