I'll work on the Dot article. There are a couple of other such tasks
that are more immediate. However, the suggested timeframe works.

And I want to ponder the whole plan...thoughts from anyone else on the
ideas that Stu suggested? This was discussed at the kde-promo BoF at
the Desktop Summit, but in hurried fashion. I'd like to hear from
others. Who will support the plan & help work on it? Are there other
ideas?
