This is much nicer, and the About page makes for a good read.

I think the content of the About page is of interest to HIG users as much as 
to HIG contributors, maybe we could give it a bit more visibility by adding an 
"Introduction" section to the start page which would consist of the first 
paragraph of the About page [1], followed by a link to it labelled "Learn more 
about the philosophy of the KDE HIG".

What do you think of this?
