This is an excellent idea; it boils down to "lead by example" and exemplifies 
what KDE is good at. At the same time it will require commitment and 
discipline to do: when "we" decide to do X, then everyone should indeed do X 
(or abstain and do something else that does not interfere with X) and not 
bitch and moan about it. Figuring out how to take decisions like that is a 
big challenge -- witness -core-devel and some of the arguing going on there.

Lead by example. I think that the promo group has been very good at this so 
far. Deciding we need folders and then going through with that, for instance.

I'm secretly hoping that y'all will decide that the website content needs a 
good deal of proofreading and organizing and that you'll (a) first figure out 
what you want to do (a') think about the existing marketing ideas for the 
website (b) put on the hip-waders and do it, once there is a coherent plan.
