While you were an editor? ;-) Or before that? I don't feel that it has changed 
since I've been involved, but that is quite a short time.

Either way, I think Troy is right about the way the Dot is perceived now - 
stuff that goes on there is seen as /the/ KDE position.

If we want to change that, maybe we can. But someone* has to:

1. propose the change in practical terms and the arguments for it
2. persuade enough people that disagree to make a consensus
3. (most important) get people to write those kinds of articles

*I'm ambivalent about this so that 'someone' is not me

We can wait for 1 and 2 for ever or we can let Oriol get on with making 3 
happen independently and then - one day if it's agreed - bring it to the Dot.

Cheers,
Stu
