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
