KDE's problem is that only the actual development is well-organized but \
that  we haven't been able to extend that organisation ver well into other \
areas. 

In general in KDE things only happen because _YOU_ make them happen. That \
goes  for code and that goes for PR. Unfortunately KDE's lack of \
organisation makes  that people who try to make PR happen are currently \
running into walls.  That's the bad side. The good side is that we DO have \
very commited and  competent people at the moment who want to do these \
things, so I am confident  that by putting the organisation in place that \
allows these people to do what  they want to do, we will end up with a very \
good KDE Promo department.

Cheers,
Waldo
