A reworking of information on kde.org to be presented by user type rather than by application type? I'm not against that but it's a lot of a work and a long way away. The changes I proposed for science are quick. However, there may be valid questions about why other groups shouldn't be included too. I'm just a bit concerned that we can spend a lot of time on working though use cases (which is valuable) and in 3 years time we'll have perhaps several of those worked out but nothing will have changed for the outside world.
