The Next Step In Spam Control - Greylisting
Highly interesting paper - the basic concept is that you configure your mail server to drop all incoming mail. Genuine MTAs will attempt to retry after the initial drop. Spamming operations don't bother retrying. A simple idea, but highly effective in the tests that have been carried out.

Announcing the KDE Quality team
"A community of contributors who will serve as a gateway between developers and users in the KDE Project, and as a new way for people to begin contributing."
The core aim of the team is to give non-technical KDE users a way of contributing something back to KDE (e.g. screenshots for documentation projects) without having to wade through a lot of technical documentation, which is currently highly oriented towards KDE developers. This can only be a good thing , and should encourage a lot more people to assist int he ongoing development of KDE.
