I think it's a great idea and the whole KDE-team will eventually  
benefit from it.

I have some graphical experience in webdesign (with Dreamweaver and  
Photoshop), but it's been about 4 years since I used it.  However I  
really don't know how great I am today in making a webdesign and I  
don't have Dreamweaver anymore, since I switched from PC to  
MacIntosh.  Is there a KDE-substitute for Dreamweaver?  Or do the  
webdesigners only work with programming-code?  Maybé than I can dig  
into the graphical part a bit, try some stuf out and if they are  
okay, make some suggestions to the team?
I am learning Ruby at the moment (at a very slow paste).  I know that  
with Ruby you can also do webdesign.  But don't count on it that I  
can help in this area at the moment, b'cause there's still a lot of  
learning going on at the moment.  When the time is right to start  
with the serious programming-work, I'll let you know...

What I can do, is make some buttons to come in stead of the blue  
underlined links?  These are really very easy to make and easy to  
implement too.
