This one really blows me away.  I'm starting to feel like GNOME is 
Microsoft Windows 1.0 and KDE is Apple.  KDE is better, but GNOME is 
winning the PR war.  The reality is that a single desktop will in fact 
become predominate in the home and business market, and having major 
companies getting behind creating a GNOME Office is going to be a major 
blow to KDE and KOffice.

KDE IMHO needs a strong evangelist out there talking about it and promoting 
it like Miquel is doing with GNOME.  If I had a good salesman in the 
company I would offer him up, but I don't.  Any suggestions on how we can 
become more vocal and noticed?  I know my company promotes KDE at every 
opportunity, and we are focusing almost all of our development efforts on KDE.

My company has been trying to keep a low profile on some of our projects, 
because we hate to announce things too early, but maybe it's time to start 
talking about the Visio type program and MS Access type program and 
such.  What do you guys think?
