Of the people reading the KMyMoney announcement (and most other Dot articles), only a small subset will relate to "the platform for developing KDE programs". Most Dot readers are interested in applications. There are other communication channels where the KDE Development Platform should be featured. Some Dot articles--those relating to developing for the KDE Platform--could also feature "The KDE Development Platform".
