They were huge flames about it some months ago. Basically, Red Hat is trying 
to create their own desktop environment by erasing all the differences 
between KDE and Gnome, taking away some components and putting new ones and 
creating in the end a 'Red Hat desktop'. In the KDE project, we favour 
distributions that package a 'pure' KDE desktop. Users should learn to use a 
KDE desktop, not a strange brew with the implicit goal of locking the user in 
using a specific distribution. The KDE Desktop market share is not big enough 
to have the luxury of an endless fragmentation. Red Hat has not really added 
value to KDE but more destroyed some value.

Welcome on board.
If you are an English native speaker could I suggest as a small first work : 
correcting the nice interview about the KDE Accessibility Project 
(http://accessibility.kde.org/about/gunnar.php). It is really written in 
pidgin English from Paderborn with sentences like :

"Since some years my mother has some disease which courses her nerves to 
disappear". 

Cheers,
Charles
