Good idea, however I have two comments .-)

a) I'd prefer to have the commercial point not appear there if it's directly 
connected to KDE

b) I'd also prefer a linuxwiki on developer.kde.org for collecting ideas, 
details and so forth. If a wiki is editable by everyone then this would be a 
good place to start commenting stuff directly - a proposal by a "fixed" 
document is always hard to deal with if several people are involved.
