So maybe what we need is either
1. idea how to enable sharing between userbase and kde.org, or
2. make the kde.org description very light/generic in terms of content
so we rarely have to update them, i.e. no versions, no links depending
on versions, etc.

I do not see 1. as very valuable or something easy.
