 KDE is an international community that creates Free Software for desktop and \
portable computing. Among KDE's products are a modern desktop system for Linux and \
UNIX platforms, and comprehensive office productivity and groupware suites. KDE \
offers hundreds of software titles in many categories including web applications, \
multimedia, entertainment, educational, graphics and software development.  </p>

and modern accessibility principles in mind. KDE4's full-featured applications run \
natively on Linux, BSD, Solaris, Windows and Mac OS X. +KDE software is translated \

   The KDE technology platform consists of 3 distinct parts::
 </p>
 <ul>
-  <li>The <strong>KDE Development Platform</strong>: A set of high-level libraries \
for UI development and system integration, including hardware, multimedia, and \
                others.</li>
-  <li>The <strong>KDE Workspace</strong>: The primary user interface (or "shell") \
shown immediately upon logging into the system. Two KDE Workspace shells are \
currently available: one optimized for laptop/desktop computers and another for \
netbooks. A third shell optimized for mobile devices such as smart phones is \
                currently under development.</li>
-  <li>The <strong>KDE Applications</strong>: this includes basic applications for \
file management, note taking and web browsing but also more advanced functionality \
needed for digital photography, enjoying a good music experience, PDF and e-book \
reading and office document creation. The applications are grouped in categories like \
the <a href="http://edu.kde.org">KDE educational applications</a>, <a \
href="http://pim.kde.org">KDE Personal Information Management applications</a> and \
the <a href="http://games.kde.org">KDE Games</a>. Some applications are part of the \
official regular KDE releases, others are part of <a \
href="http://extragear.kde.org/">Extragear</a> and release on their own.</li> +  \
<li>The <strong>KDE Frameworks</strong>: A set of high-level libraries for UI \
development and system integration, including hardware, multimedia, and others.</li> \
+  <li><strong>KDE Plasma</strong>: The primary user interface shown immediately upon \
logging into the system. KDE Plasma is optimized for desktop computers and laptops, \
and a second user interface optimized for mobile devices ("Plasma Mobile") such as \
smartphones is currently under development.</li> +  <li>The <strong>KDE \
Applications</strong>: A <a href="https://www.kde.org/applications/">wide assortment \
of desktop applications</a>. This includes basic applications for <a \
href="https://www.kde.org/applications/system/dolphin/">file management</a>, <a \
href="https://www.kde.org/applications/graphics/gwenview/">image viewing</a>, <a \
href="https://www.kde.org/applications/graphics/okular/">PDF and e-book reading</a> \
and <a href="https://www.falkon.org/">web browsing</a> but also more advanced \
functionality needed for <a href="http://krita.org/">digital painting</a>, <a \
href="https://www.digikam.org/">digital photography</a>, <a \
href="https://kdenlive.org/">video editing</a>, <a \
href="https://www.kde.org/applications/office/kmymoney/">personal finance</a>. The \
applications are grouped in categories like the <a href="http://edu.kde.org">KDE \
educational applications</a>, <a href="http://pim.kde.org">KDE Personal Information \
                Management applications</a> and the <a href="http://games.kde
 .org">KDE Games</a>. Some applications are part of the official regular KDE \
releases, others are part of <a href="http://extragear.kde.org/">Extragear</a> and \
release on their own.</li>  </ul>

-It is important to make the distinction described above. An application written with \
the KDE Development Platform can run anywhere and not just in the KDE Workspace, \
fitting in well on a Windows, Mac or Gnome desktop. Likewise, the KDE Workspace works \
well even with applications not written with the KDE Development Platform. It \
integrates application notifications and other such functionality thanks to extensive \
efforts to support standardization on the Free Desktop. +"KDE" is the name of the \
community, not any particular piece of software. People don't run "KDE" on their \
computers; they run "KDE Plasma" and "KDE Apps."  </p>

 KDE is legally represented by the <a href="http://ev.kde.org">KDE e.V.</a>, a \
German-based but otherwise international non-profit association. The association aids \
in creating and distributing KDE by securing financial, computer hardware and other \
donations, using them to aid KDE development and promotion. It also provides legal \
support to developers when needed. The KDE e.V. consists of over 200 members of the \
KDE community, is chaired by a board elected by the members and has 1 paid \
administrative employee. Note that 'the e.V.' has no influence on development \
whatsoever but only facilitates the community.  </p>
