It's really a minor point, but I don't understand the change of

* Stand on the shoulders of giants

to

* To stand on the shoulders of giants


Why does this phrase now begin with "To"+verb when all other phrases 
(still) start with a verb without leading "To"?

IMHO the leading "To" makes the phrase sound less personal. When I read 
the other phrases I mentally add a "You" or a "You can", as in "You can 
make use of KDE infrastructure [...]", "You benefit from [...]", "You 
get support from [...]", etc. The leading "To" prevents this.


Other than that the changes look good.

Ingo
