My first impression was: "This is a SPAM message", but before my fingers
reached the report button the second line made me realize that it
probably isn't. The third one gives me an iffy feeling through.
I don't know you nor the project & perhaps I just don't get the joke(s),
so I give you the benefit of the doubt, but you might want to work on
your communication style as at least for me this message sounds not very
inviting – and that is the exact opposite of what you want, right?


I would also suggest using another name for a Qt-based synaptics-like
project as "apt-qt" makes it sound rather official (as in produced by
the team who produces apt) which could be misleading to users. synaptics
isn't called apt-gtk, even through it was made by one of its members
(Not that this name is perfect either…).

It is also that "apt" isn't a very good word. It works in our favour on
the command line as it is short, but is hardly a concern for a graphical
application, it is hard to search for and many contexts fight over the
word as an acronym for different things, like "Advanced Persistent
Threat" (Our excuse is that the name was picked nearly 25 years ago,
while most of those concerns didn't even existed. What is yours?).


Best regards

P.S.: Debian mailinglists are text-only. As far as I can see your html
part is pretty much the same as the text-part, so not really much harm
done, but also not much point in duplication, don't you agree?
