An open pilot program, stating clearly that things can change based in the 
feedback, is good enough to me. However, I don't see anything so new about 
what I am proposing. The news are:
- people organize around apps not tasks.
- lower entry point: guides and step-by-step tutorial. The new community and 
the list offer help and feedback to newcomers.

As people get trained, and show it, they integrate to normal KDE development 
process: Mailing lists, CVS accounts, bugzilla accounts, etc...
