There are a numbr of new efforts in the QA area, which are slowly
starting take form. Let's see how things go from here, I think we should
give it a bit more time.

I will certainly not lead this effort. I believe in leading by example,
and I lack knowledge and programming required to perform most QA tasks
(even if I can do some bug triage and testing, as I did in the past) (or
in other words, I lack "clue").

The task of lowering the barriers of contributing to KDE, and
integrating new people (especially non programmers, but programmers
too), is what I plan to work on going forward. There are several
possibilities, including the University of KDE ideas, more integration
with the contents of developer.kde.org and docs.kde.org/team, etc...

Cheers,
