Done. Added this:
EDIT: the K16 team would like to add the following elaboration to the request 
for K16 pitches:

We would like to explain that we have some requirements for a 'vision' to be 
actually called a vision.

First of all, just stating what extra work is needed, especially when it comes 
to polishing what is there (no matter how important that is) is not enough. 
Yes, we all have many pet peeves and there are many areas where improvements 
are needed. But we asked for a 5 year vision.

Second, you need ideas on how to accomplish the plans within a Free Software 
community like KDE - and this is important. We are mostly volunteers, working 
on what we like or consider important. Whatever vision you present, it has to 
show how to get there and how to get people involved with it.

So in short, a vision should be ambitious - yet have some realism. Our long-
term goals - create something so compelling it can overtake windows - should 
be the focus, not incremental improvements because that won't be enough in 5 
years.
