I'm a long-standing user of Gentoo, where the emphasis is on user choice, who used to use KDE 3 , then adopted Fluxbox after the Great Leap Forward.

You completely support what I write and suggest without noticing it :-)
I don't want Trinity to fork things like kpdf which evolved into Okular. I don't want Trinity to fork Gwenview which is much better in the current variant. I want Trinity to continue the work on the applications which got dropped or displaced (e.g. Kicker or KWorldView) to work on a future together instead of against each other.
I want that the users get the best possible software. In case that the KDE software is better (e.g. Okular) there should not be a fork of the inferior version.
Btw. a KDE version of kmahjongg [1] exists.
Oh and it would greatly help if everybody would calm down a little bit. Comparison to 3rd-World dictators should not happen on a mailing list. Surprised that KDE people don't like Trinity, if they get compared to dictators if they try to collaborate? Well I'm not. Btw. comparing a German person with dictators is the worst insult you could imagine for a German.

P.S. an apology for what you just wrote would be appropriate.
