This still seems kind of bizarre to me. Scientific Workstation is a very niche spin for a particular audience which happens to use the KDE desktop because, I dunno, the person who built the spin had to pick *some* desktop and they liked KDE more than GNOME or something. KDE is our most significant desktop spin after GNOME. If we're expanding the product set, Fedora KDE seems like a reasonable Product candidate, but smooshing it together with Scientific Workstation seems a bit bizarre. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
