Misc
- Work on Konqueror profiles.
- The goal was to find the best compromise, comfortable and powerfull to use, but as simple as breezy's profile. That was done by reorganizing the menus, working on the way kparts are included in the bars etc... Changes where accepted for Dapper.
- Adept's icons.
- Corrections/Improvement to the Kubuntu Usplash background image (breezy), for better visibility.
- A few bug reports/comments on KDE applications (Wlassistant, Konqueror...)
Diverse contributions/corrections on http://wiki.ubuntu-fr.org
- Help on IRC/Freenode, channels #kubuntu-fr, #kubuntu, #kubuntu-devel.
Future
- Submit ideas/patches for the KDE default config for Dapper. KDE is very powerfull, but needs too much configuration for newbies actually.
- Packaging KDE applications for Ubuntu/Kubuntu, especially missing applications.
Helping LaptopTeam for Dapper about Acer Travelmate 2403 support.
- Finding time to help on Rosetta, which I really want to do, but don't have the time actually.
