>Because it was created in a different process by the Akademy team

the process is clearly flawed. it contains too many errors to be excusable.

> I guess they wanted to get it done.

everyone wants to get stuff done. but something like this shouldnt be released unfinished unless it is only for feedback. Community input and HELP was ignored.

> I think the majority of KDE contributors are still coders
An engineering firm (infrastructure related, not computer) I worked for kept a database of the skill sets of the individual employees. It was very comprehensive. If a problem needed to be solved we fired up the database, and was given a list company wide of who possessed the skills. The KDE project being the size it is should definitely have something like this.

You're shouting again, Mike. And you should realize that the people who put together this brochure _are_ part of the community. What have you done to become part of the community?

I do not write code. hope you find my contributions worthy:

I happen to volunteer time refurbishing computers to redistribute to low income families. While most have ubuntu installed quite a few try kubuntu. The three volunteers in our shop all use KDE and promote it. I also have submitted many KDE bug reports, art work and do a lot of KDE translation work for two languages.

notice i post anonymously. so no, I'm not going to specifically point out everything I've done over the 3 years ive been a kde user. You can believe me or not.

> _are_ part of the community

yes. I can tell arguing with you would be exhausting.
