Sound reasoning

Nope, just a step.

True, everything else needs to be cleaned up / trimmed down too so it stands 
out just as much as the other things.

It isn't that kde.org shouldn't be where everyone should browse, but why is 
stuff on kde.org when it is clearly development related and is duplicated on 
developer.kde.org?  The main page should *clearly* provide hints where to go 
to get information.  Right now even on the main page alone (as previously 
documented by many people) there are a number of links that all go to the 
very same place, but all named differently.  So I was trying to help out by 
highlighting a few of those links to remove.

kde.org has so much mishmashed content it is imposibble to find anything.  Try 
to find the page that tells you how you can help out from kde.org.  You will 
probably find two dozen differnt pages with just two clicks.  I don't care to 
become a begging page, but I do think it should provide a clear route to 
information that you are seaking, not try to provide a little of everything 
and fail at it all.
