Incorrect word used in welcome slideshow

[cecil]

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.

SHASUM256 of the latest installation (of many) where this occurs:

I assume https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jammy/+source/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/+pots/ubiquity-slideshow-kubuntu/nb/68/+translate is the string in question:
"The Kubuntu community consists of a group of individuals who made up one of the greatest teams in the open source community.." since it is the only one I can find mentioning the team. And it is in past tense for some reason.

[cecil (cecilchurms)]

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
