Notes and Ideas
In Want of a Title
- a gentle introduction
- start Konquerer
- choosing 'Home Folder'
- 'Hide Navigation Panel (F9)'
- 'Settings' -> 'Configure View Profiles'
- 'Profile name:'
- type "My Project" (use a more pleasing name)
- check 'Save URLs in profile'
- check 'Save windows size in profile'
- 'Settings' -> 'Save View Changes per Folder'
- open/create a project folder (can I avoid the term "folder"? Not without circumstances.)
- 'Location' -> 'New Tab (Ctrl+Shift+N)'
- 'Location' -> 'Open Location (Ctrl+O)'
- open (each in a new tab)
- an image
- a (short) movie
- a PDF file
- some web-pages
- one or two pages with content releated to the project
- one general "reference page" (Wikipedia?)
- one dictionnary (Miriam-Webster? dict.cc?)
- save the project
- close Konquerer
(to be continued)

A Word to My Fellow Brethen of the Ancient Order of Electrical Circuitry
- if you're not talking to another system administrator, developer or some kind of tech-guy, forget about files, folders, hard drives, devices and such.
- start to think in "projects" (or "tasks") like "This are the tales of my grandfathers youth", "That are pictures from my holidays", "This is a thesis about medieval artifacts in the valley" and so on.
- don't re-invent the wheel.
- use, what's already there and glue that stuff together.
- remember Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who happens to be both a pioneer in technology and a great poet. He noticed, that technics starts primitive, grows complicated and matures simple.
- Nepomuk looks like the thing to power a PIA.

- screen-shots
- (done) contribute to neverendingo's article "Get involved"
Documentation
- to avoid confusion, it's useful to create a role account with a pristine installation of KDE.
- the choosen distribution might be a remaining source of a different "look'n'feel".
- hence, the distribution should be documented at least in the meta-information of a documenation.
- is there a kind of "KDE Reference Installation"? Something, it's agreed upon, that this is the proper "look'n'feel" for all things concerning documentation?
- whom to aks? Whom to suggest such a thing?
