It does not work this way. You have to create something for users first. At 
least that's my opinion.

Yep, that looks good.

But I still don't know if our users always comes from KDE and maybe they want 
to identify themselves as Krita users&artists.

Maybe they could allow png, jpg and gif mimetypes for us at least?

I don't think so, what KOffice says?

There could be differences between KDE community and Krita community I think.
So maybe also this point leads me to create separate forum... I don't know if 
subforum on big forum separate people and stuff enough...

I'm sure that separate forum would be cooler, but we don't have people for it.
That's why we consider KDE forum right? And they also would bring many nice 
features...

I proposed to take "forum administration" for some time period. But I want 
rather develop Krita. 

Your opinions?
