The goal of this BoF is to set up an initiative to help KDE applications and workspaces "walk the extra mile": fixing small bugs and UI issues which gets in the way of the user.

KDE products are awesome, but could often be made much more pleasant to use by just ironing out a few quirks here and there.

As far as I know, nothing like this have been done for KDE.

The goal of this BoF is not to start polishing applications right away, but to define the best way to get ourselves organized.

Topics to discuss:

  • Come up with a set of criterias a bug must meet to qualify as an extra mile bug (EMB)
  • How do we track EMBs? (bug reports with an EMB tag, wiki page...)
  • How do we report progress? (internal mailing list, blog post, how often?)
