I second that, that's exactly what I thought when I saw the proposal. |

A few other points to consider: |
| 28 |
- As Michael pointed out, kde-look.org already tries to be a |
| 29 |
install-with-few-clicks portal, and kde is going more and more in this |
| 30 |
direction with the integration in kde 4. |
| 31 |
- Often there's no real consistency in content packaged on kde-look, users |
| 32 |
just offer for public download things packaged as they feel. |
| 33 |
- Projects appear and become obsolete on kde-look at an _impressive_ rate. |
