I don't see Trolltech advertising about a windows port of Qt. If they were
to do that, they could simply release the GPLed version for windows.

kde 1.1.2 is in alpha stage. Advertising on this and konqui embedded is good
because it proves that the kde is well written. It makes the project known
for its technical qualities.

But you are somehow right. I will go for a single page giving references to
other projects, that should be enough.

I see it differently. My howto are for users, not developers. Users don't
really care about "howto find memory leaks" or "what to check when
developing a kde application". But they might care about anti-aliasing,
themes, win2k effects and gesture control, ...". It is a completely
different thing.

I should rename it for something like "Enhance your kde".

Anyway, I will propose the drafts and then you'll judge if it deserves a
website section.
