I meant more the administrative side of the work - someone has to take care
of the stock supplies, someone needs to send out the stuff, take care of
the money etc. Given that the only paid employee of KDE e.V. is Claudia in
the Berlin office and she is very busy already, we have noone who would
take care of that. Setting up the web is moreless a weekend's work :)
