That doesn't mean KDE should stop trying. I think it's rather 
dangerous to put PR or KDE's marketing solely on one person. If, God 
forbid, something happened to you, sick, accident, disagreement, 
there would be no-one to take over. Seems to me like living on the 
edge and not something you want.

Most people I know, and I'm not different, think only _they_ can do 
the job right. If so many people quit while working on a project, 
maybe it's a good thing to start asking why that happens.

 From what I know Philippe contributes what he can, we _all_ 
contribute what we can, I sure you know that. I keep seeing you 
pointing this out. I hope this doesn't mean you feel that we should 
not ask questions or critize the way things are done within KDE 
Leaque or KDE e.V. The way to come to an improvement or a solution is 
through constructive criticism and an open mind and ear.

I'm sure Chris or Eirik can answer questions as well. Yes I know they 
have busy jobs, but with accepting a position on a board they know 
that there will be a time that they will have to answer questions of 
the people they say they represent.
I have to agree with Phillipe, a list with actions would solve these 
discussions and would free you from these obvious unwanted emails.
