yes; and it will take a large-ish number of us pulling together to do that.

kde4 has more unified direction and coherency than kde3 ever had. we have more 
agreed upon processes in place.

what we lack is an awareness of the need to continue these things by enough 
people in the project and the willingness to let people become blockers to 
forward progress.

i think continuing to create process within KDE is one key element. we have an 
application lifecycle, we have licensing systems in place, there's a much more 
coherent marketing concept there, we have artwork direction, we have a 
community working group, etc., etc... all new in the last 3 years (or less).

other than that, all we can do is keep rocking in plasma and reaching out to 
others to spread the messages.

putting it straight to people as i did in that email can be a useful way to 
jog them out of complacency and to realize the effects of their positions on 
things.
