btw, playing with a "short version of what we're doing" i came up with:

The Appeal Project was created to help realize the full of potential within 
KDE through focussed, directed development efforts that strive to fulfill the 
three principles of Appeal: breathtaking beauty, interface clarity and 
technical creativity. 

Collaboration between software developers, artists and usability experts is 
seen as an integral part of achieving these goals and each of these groups of 
expertise are well represented within the project. 

The Appeal Project is made up of a number of concurrent sub-projects, or 
_________s [1]. These projects currently include:

	Creation of a new icon theme and widget style
	Content browser
	Context Linkage Engine
	Desktop Rejuvination: Rethinking Kicker and KDesktop
	KDE PIM _____________	
	etc....

[1] not sure yet what to call each appeal "sub-project". would be nice to have 
a cool word to describe that. a "sub-project" would be the new icon theme, or 
the context linkage engine, or the content browser ...

oh, and sorry to keep harping on this, but, where's the logo and word mark 
artwork that David and the other artists did at the meeting? i remember it 
looking rather nice .... =)
