KDE's problem is that only the actual development is well-organized but t= hat=20 we haven't been able to extend that organisation ver well into other area= s.=20 In general in KDE things only happen because _YOU_ make them happen. That= goes=20 for code and that goes for PR. Unfortunately KDE's lack of organisation m= akes=20 that people who try to make PR happen are currently running into walls.=20 That's the bad side. The good side is that we DO have very commited and=20 competent people at the moment who want to do these things, so I am confi= dent=20 that by putting the organisation in place that allows these people to do = what=20 they want to do, we will end up with a very good KDE Promo department.
