The link http://api.kde.org/frameworks-api/frameworks5-apidocs/index.html 
could be presented more prominently. From what I see this is (one of ?) the 
best overviews over what KDE frameworks actually contains. The wording 
suggests just API docs, which I am not interested in when at this point yet, 
only later. Maybe it could be named "overview over KDE frameworks".
Ideally each of the frameworks could have a homepage... just dreaming ;-)
