Canonical pulls the plug on KubuntuCanonical pulls the plug on KubuntuPosted Feb 7, 2012 2:17 UTC (Tue) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313)Parent article: Canonical pulls funding from Kubuntu
this makes it sound like kubuntu has been an one-man show.
how many people have been working on this?
as a kubuntu user, it's always felt like a second-class project, very close to how the other 'community flavors' have felt.

Jonathan has always been the only Kubuntu developer who was paid by Canonical. The rest of the Kubuntu development team are community people.

the reason I'm asking is that I'm trying to get a feel of how much this will impact the available manpower. Was Jonathan 10% of the manpower or 50%.
His time will be missed, but is this a "ouch, let's move on" or a death blow?

Depending on final exams schedules, I'd estimate 8-12 people work on Kubuntu.
