		+	In order to show how much work has already gone into the KDE 4 series, specifically the KDE 4.0 release , list the "pillars of KDE" as well as a short description and a screenshot:
		+	Plasma, Oxygen, Phonon,Solid, Kross, Decibel,Sonnet,...
		+
		+	As an example, feature a couple of applications that make use of these features (Amarok, Koffice, Desktop)
		+
		+	In the release announcement the following questions need to be answered so that haters can't bash KDE without reason:
		+
		+	* 1. Why has the development of KDE 4 taken so long? (Difference between 4 & 4.0; QT4,...)
		+	* 2. KDE 4 was supposed to be such a big leap forward, how come feature X is not implemented, although it was hyped so much before? (Difference 4 & 4.0, the development of the KDE 4 series is done when KDE 5.0 is released)
		+	* 3. Pillars of KDE sounds fancy, but should I as a user care?
		+	* 4. KDE 4.0 looks great, but what's in it for me as a developer?
