It's an excellent mean for people to get an overview over what's currently 
happening. It fits pretty well in our strategy of providing information about 
what's happening to the outside world, but it's also an excellent tool to 
help us keeping track of what's happening. Think of people on vacation: I 
experienced it myself very lately, when returning after three weeks of 
awayness, I had a hard time to get hold of what happened in the meantime. The 
dot is not detailed enough for that, planetkde is too finegrained already -- 
so are mailinglist (it took me three days to read through the bigger part of 
it, and I'm still not done yet).

We should try to maintain this effort though, it really helps us and the 
outside world who wants to read once in a while what's going on in KDE 
land -- especially in a time where we're not doing a major release until KDE4 
is done. And of course it helps journalists who want to write something about 
KDE and don't have the time to follow development very closely. It's also a 
great way for people to contribute, people who have a bit of time once in a 
while and who are following planetkde and a couple of mailinglists anyway.

Thanks for starting this initiative!
