I think this is a good thing.

I think this sounds fantastic, and we can even generate some PR for
both projects.

One question though: Right now all I see when I go to the KDE Desktop
Environment link is a long long list of applications.  Is there any
way of having this arranged hierarchically to suit us better?  We
would also need the 10 most recent apps listed on the front page of
the link, of course.  All this should be by default without requiring
accounts, IMHO.

(Forgive my ignorance of Freshmeat functionality.)

Also, can we include Qt apps (if not already)?

No KDE.com didn't have any ads as far as I know, only some "pretty
background" links but those were voluntary and generated zero income.

It's really too bad we do not have Andreas' input on this.  :(

Later,
Navin.
