Hey,

First, welcome aboard kde-promo! I'll also try and get to your earlier email 
in a few minutes.

To be slightly awkward, but also make an (imho) important point, what do you 
mean here by 'KDE'? Plasma Desktop? Plasma Netbook? The apps in the software 
compilation? The apps not in the software compilation (like Amarok, K3B, 
digiKam). All of the above?

Partly that's a please use the new terms point ;-) But I think it is also 
important when we think about promoting our software, since the messages for 
different parts can be different. Anyway, when I reply privately with my list in 
a few minutes, I'll assume we're talking about all KDE software.

This also depends very much on the audience of course :-) But that's 
nitpicking, so I'll go for random windows user who hasn't really heard about 
free software except maybe Firefox.

I think the blog post Aaron suggests is probably best for this - if you ask 
people to specify their role (if any) in KDE then you can get a feel for 
internal and external views.

So, I'll send my list shortly.

Cheers,
Stu
