I agree, but generally we only announced KDE, KOffice and KDevelop and the 
later was an exception AFAIK.

I am only one of three votes, but I think announcing KDE working on 
accessibility is valid for the announcement part. Is the accessibility module 
part of the 3.1.1 release? Perhaps some coordination can be done there?

I strongly vote for the dot announcement, since this is what is used on most 
other newstickers (linuxtoday, /. etc.) When you want to write a lengthy 
announcement I am not against linking it from the top index page, since 
accessibility is not to be judged by LOC.
