Thanks for the feedback, Leo. This makes a lot of sense, much better
than having people ranking projects that they do not know about, and can
not estimate the impact on the subproject.

OK. So please, kdegames people, if you have some time and are willing to
mentor one of the existing ideas, do signup and do take part in the
discussion. We could probably have someone (Stefan? Josef?) leading the
"subproject". Let us talk about this in the meeting Sunday?
