If you use on , then I recommend these COPR repos for an up-to-date experience:

copr.fedorainfracloud.org/copr
copr.fedorainfracloud.org/copr
copr.fedorainfracloud.org/copr
copr.fedorainfracloud.org/copr

(they contain stable KDE releases, it's only the Fedora packaging work that's considered unstable).

today enjoys one of the best community managers I have ever seen.

Nate's blog is a continuous stream of usability, productivity and design improvements. As a user, I absolutely love reading it. And it's easy to imagine how being acknowledged in the weekly updates could boost a contributor's motivation.

A developer already has a patch to enable this, and will upload it soon.
