| - | For two examples, there seems to have been minimal development and virtually no documentation of Calligra Braindump, a whiteboarding application that is part of Calligra Office, the successor to KOffice. A shame; it looks like it could have been interesting (although that application name has got to go). Also, if you run any applications in the current version of KDE’s Plasma desktop environment that set their own resolution that is different from your desktop resolution (a LOT of games do this), once the application is done and exits back to KDE, all your desktop icons will be resized, or rearranged, or both. This seems to me to be symptomatic of very poor testing and quality control. I feel that this is pretty fundamental desktop functionality.

As a diabetic, cooking for myself can be very helpful in managing my diet and my blood sugar levels, but I do also think knowing how to cook is an important life skill that everyone should have, at least to some degree, and the computer is a natural tool to help with this. However, KRecipes has been unmaintained for some time now (since 2016), and promised documentation seems to have never been completed. | + | Nous sommes de retour ce mois-ci pour terminer la série sur l'Aide pour Linux. |

| - | I suppose that the KRecipe application simply runs differently (better, apparently) in the desktop environment it was actually designed for, but that’s actually a condemnation – it absolutely should have also been tested properly in Unity and in GNOME. Apparently, that was not the case. As a former business analyst who dealt with similar testing concerns during my career, I can tell you that I, and my teams, were frequently so overtasked that it was practically impossible to test things effectively and thoroughly, but it’s no less disappointing that this is apparently where we often are today when it comes to software development.
