Platform

Things relating to the underlying platform that are available to the workspaces and apps (examples: Nepomuk, Plasma framework, Oxygen, Solid etc)

[NOTE] I don't know if anyone is aware of this page, and because everyone seams to be using https://promo.notes.kde.org/14? I'll use that instead of this. [NOTE]

kwin: At 4.7, kwin will probably be able to use OpenGL ES (for Embedded Systems) to do compositing. For the feature guide, this means a paragraph about what OpenGL ES is, what devices are using this, and what improvements can it give. Then, another one about how using kwin with OpenGL ES can improve user experience.
