I think that the motivations and goals for a foundry are:
- to attract new developers by synthesizing a list of existing projects 
external to the base KDE distribution.
- to help avoiding redudant development efforts. If I want to develop a new 
piece of software, I'm no more than an ordinary human: I won't spend a week 
or two looking if it already exists. I'll search during 10 minutes and if I 
don't find anything I'll go on with it.
- to get more exposure in general
