my idea is to put up an intermediate static page that explains
very uncontroversial points. That yes, there are enterprises using KDE's 
products, yes there are companies within KDE and yes you can get support
for the products.

This should not wait for anything as enterprise.kde.org is still in search 
engines and looks like have been disregarded. The empty DNS and the lack of 
any information is currently hurting KDE by the hour.

Before putting put a text or page there, I'd fully coordinate here on promo, 
so you and everyone else can comment. I'm sure we can find something that is 
agreeable to everyone and keeps the full options for your plan.

Of course I cannot promise when I get around doing the page, but this 
intermediate page might even be better for your strategic initiative as you 
can take all the necessary time to get it right.
