In general I think the first proposal by Thomas is quite good and agree with 
notmart and Co, that we can't fix every little detail as these are different 
levels of abstraction.

I think neither nor. Looking at the wiki pages shows that the last edit is 
from December 2010 so why before (Plasma by KDE, which I like). And there is 
even still KOffice on this wiki page so it's "just" out of date.

But don't fear as the kde-promo team is mostly inexistent atm it doesn't make 
much difference ;-(

And I think it would make sense to update it of course so as soon as we agree 
I volunteer (if nobody beats me, I'm not really bored atm ;-) to update it.
