I don't think calling it a "project" made sense anyway in the last years.=20
Projects have a fixed goal and more or less fixed resources attached to rea=
ch=20
that goal.=20
While it applied to us (well, not me ;)) when Matthias founded KDE, it is n=
ot=20
true anymore. No one ever got the idea that KDE was finished when we releas=
ed=20
3.5.10 (or whatever the point was when we could honestly say "Yes, we've no=
w=20
reached the point where we can say that Matthias' goal has been satisfied")=
=2E=20
Instead, our community changes the way it works, and changes its goals in=20
itself.

I'd much rather like to refer to the "KDE Project" as the KDE community,=20
that's an entity people can work with, even if it sounds a bit hippie-ish a=
t=20
times (in that case, just use the "KDE Team").
