  I like the idea of allowing people who want to work on features and further 
develop their apps to have a forum to do so.  This will also keep them from 
stepping on the toes of people who are focused exclusively on the Qt4 port 
and KDE4 architectural work.  I think it will reduce chaos at the beginning.
