And what are you?  How does your work make KDE a European product?

All I'm saying is that it may be beneficial to make KDE more palatable
to American companies, users and developers.  If this means thinking
the American-way -- marketing the American-way to Americans or
addressing American concerns or targeting functionality that the
American market needs -- then so be it.  This only makes KDE stronger,
not weaker.

We must be doing something wrong if Americans are not using KDE
because it is a "European product".

Later,
Navin.
