Description Shaun Reich 2009-03-22 18:34:09 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Our main website (kde.org) does not show a screenshot for KDE 4.2 under the "Screenshots" section/link.

The newest it shows is KDE 4.1, which is a bad impression to give off when compared with 4.2....

I also think that there should be more screenshots, varying, for 4.2, and that the older screenshots, that are now vintage and antique, should be removed or pushed into a different link, a user seeing that old stuff would think right away, that it is way behind, even if it does say the version next to it, it isn't entirely clear that these are actually older ones, there isn't some headline stating "These are older screenshots" or some sub page that is linked as just that.

4.2 is shown now
Structure and functions has not changed

Thanks, but why will the structure not be changed?

Look at the link that points to this page.... name: link: http://www.kde.org/announcements/visualguide-3.5.php

I think the older screenshots should be put in that or something similar, I feel that it gives us a bad image. For example, you don't see companies like Microsoft show casing what Windows ME was like :P .

Or have them put in here http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Screenshots

Simple: I have no time at the moment. Mabe someone else could help.

They feel embarrassing about their work, we don't. It is a little history and shows the evolution of KDE.

wiki.kde.org should not be used anymore. We have the xBases. Screenshots should be on kde.org.
