Well, consult with a lawyer first, please, you can get into a heap of problems (it
sounds kind of like a warranty, I would hate to check every country in which KDE is
distributed for the legal ramifications of such a "certification").  Of course, you
could try to follow the certification with a statement that it means nothing, but
that would be pointless and perhaps ineffective in a consumer-friendly country.

Perhaps a better idea is a "KDE Development Bulletin Board" where developers are
encouraged to post their progress to avoid duplication of effort.

I repeat my last sentence, I have often looked for this when I have been toying
with various projects.
