That's cool - I think an important part of this effort (and pushing on with the
'rebranding' from a few years ago now that we're /really/ separating stuff) is
strengthening the brands for Frameworks 5 and Plasma as distinct entities.

+1
Another potential thing to think about is 'KDE'. We see this as the community,
the umbrella brand... But a lot of people still think 'K Desktop Environment'.
Can we perhaps start to tease out some other meanings for the letters? As one
(throw-away, from a couple of minutes of thought) example:
KDE: Know. Do. Explore.
(We know [lots of stuff about Qt, coding, free software], we do [we get it
done, don't just discuss it forever], we explore [we try new stuff and always
improve the software] - we are KDE)
I'm sure we can come up with something better, but how about we try to push
into 'KDE' values about what we, as a community, stand for? In usage, I'd be
thinking about some similar approach to use of Fedora's 4 'F's: Freedom,
Friends, Features, First [1] (not that I love that one, personally), but
something better could be used in our home page banners, about KDE pages
etc...
Cheers,
Stu
