I think that KDE badly needs an alternative to an already quite successful GNOME's Every Detail Matters initiative that will help to fïx all the little but extremely annoying bugs that ruin the KDE experience.

I decided to attempt to organize this initiative myself because I know that if I don't start it, maybe nobody will .

------------------------------------------------------------------
The Criteria for Bugs
------------------------------------------------------------------

What do I mean by "little bugs"

I mean the bugs that are possible to live with - which is one of the reasons why the developers are reluctant to fix them - but which are annoying or even able to draw an average, co®porate user away from KDE.

The criteria

1. An average user is likely meet this issue in his/her daily work.
2. Should not be an issue that only happens once and can easily be resolved forever (for example, too small initial window size or bad initial configuration).
3. May be a feature request - importance is evaluated on individual basis.

Bug labels

(Fix ASAP!) - An epic issue that greatly affects usability/accessibility/internationalization.

------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hunt Checklist
------------------------------------------------------------------

Usability bugs

Bug #270252 - When opening widget selector search field appears focused, but doesn't actually receive input.

Bug #264982 (Feature request) - Move window to activities from taskbar right-click menu.

Settings changes that can't be undone, but should be undoable

Bug #259940 (Low importance) - Make "Home", "Trash", "Network" and "Root" places undeletable, but hidable.

Aesthetic bugs

Bug #272252 - Contrast setting is not applied when changing a color scheme.

Critical Qt usability bugs

These aren't exactly KDE bugs, but they greatly affect KDE well-being and we should probably fïx them ourselves and then ask Qt developers to accept our patches. If they don't accept, we should nag them hardly.

Bug #70063 - Global shortcuts don't work when any popup is active.

Qt Bug #23315 (Fix ASAP!) - Alt access keys don't work with non-english letters.

The Trophy Room
------------------------------------------------------------------

Fixed bugs will go here along with the names of people who fixed them

------------------------------------------------------------------

We also need this initiative to be properly organized. GNOME has rounds that focus on specific application, with KDE, we have a few little issues in every application. Issues of one application won't make a great bug hunt.

------------------------------------------------------------------

What I ask the KDE developers to do: please make this thread sticky and add a box with this text: "Please help us to improve the KDE experience! Take part in the Great Bug Hunt Initiative: <like to this topic>" on both kde.org and forums.kde.org.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Please don't discuss the bugs themselves here. Discuss them in their respective Bugzilla entries.

We're a couple of people who are interested in doing something like Ubuntu's "fix 100 papercuts" project[1], but so far nobody has taken the initiative to start it. (Personally I don't have enough time at the moment.)

I don't think posting a list and saying "here KDE developers, fix these" is going to help. Instead, we should try to gather people who are interested in this, set a goal, and try to achieve it. E.g. "fix 100 papercuts (or whatever we decide to call it) in one week". For this we need people who are willing to organize, promote, find such bugs and fix them.

As a start, I think it would be nice to create a Community wiki page for the project and the list.
