Yes, the string in question is correct.  Thank-you for taking the time
to search for it in the source.  It is difficult to cut-and-paste or
return to it once you are installed, and have access to launchpad.
Maybe I should make more use of pen and paper :-)  :-)

Am I correct then, in believing that the Kubuntu community is no longer
one of the greatest teams in the open source community, but was one in
the past.

If the team wishes rather, to be modest, I suggest stongly the following
phrase is used instead.

"..of individuals who make up one of the great teams in the open source
community.."

The two changes "made-->make" and "greatest->>great" seems to me to be
less of a sign of defeat, than the current wording implies.  It will
become a statement which cannot reasonably be questioned by any other
external party.

If there is some other hidden internal reason for the wording remaining
as-is, I will have to be reconciled with the wording, but it will be
with some decreasing pride in the current health of the Kubuntu open-
source project I use, and have advocated for many years.  I have always
thought it was a typo, which was inadvertently made, and would someday
be rectified with a chuckle when someone at Kubuntu noticed it.

Best no-bug wishes
 
Cecil

Title:
  Incorrect word used in welcome slideshow

Status in ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  CURRENT BEHAVIOR:
  The last screen of the welcome slideshow in the ubiquity install, states words to the effect: The Kubuntu development team WERE a leading team worldwide in the development of software [not the exact words quoted - capitalization for emphasis]

  EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
  I would think that it should read: Kubuntu development team ARE .....

  This might sound trivial, but it has bugged me over numerous Kubuntu
  releases, as I would like the team to think that they still ARE a
  world-class development team - as I believe they ARE.  I would also
  like fellow installers to be assured that they are using a release
  which IS being continuously developed.
