Well, so does the current www.kde.org website which at least looks
better than what wwwtesting.kde.org has turned in to.... but like you
say it's the unfortunate result of being designed by a committee and
has gone against root66's original conception.

Don't take it personally please, I would just really hate to see the
current www.kde.org replaced with something uglier instead of
better... not really a good PR move.

I hope that at least we will at least seek some diverse opinions on
how lay people like the various designs currently available before
taking such a big step.

Thanks,
Navin.
