Just taken my first look at it this cycle - and yep, it is really good :-) 
Great work from Jos, Devaja and I'm sure many others.

I've just been through doing a bit of a grammar/wording cleanup - for most 
bits, there wasn't much else to do. I've also had a stab at starting the KDE 
Development Platform section, but as you know I'm no dev so someone who 
actually knows about that should take a look - Sebas? Aaron?

One thing that bugged me, looking through: shouldn't Dolphin, Gwenview and 
Okular be in the Applications section, not workspace? I left them for now as I 
guessed it must be a conscious decision, not a mistake. I can see and argument 
for the file manager (though I disagree - you can happily run Plasma Desktop 
with Nautilus as your file manager. Well, maybe not happily.... angrily?) but 
to me at least Okular is no part of the workspace at all.

I've adjusted a few bits - take a look if you have a moment...

Way I see it, we need a few holes plugged in (from the notes, seems the devs 
have agreed to most of those - anyone know?), more work on the dev platform 
bit and - of course - screenshots.

Hope all is good there - take care of yourself.


Cheers - and a late happy new year to everyone :-)
