Please don't speak for me. You've made it absolutely clear that _you_ are only interested in GUI. That's totally fine. We need people who focus on (G)UI applications. But we also need people who focus on non- GUI-stuff. A large part of Frameworks 5 is non-GUI-stuff. Akonadi (and its spin-off) is non-GUI stuff. Therefore, I'm against a-priori excluding anybody who is not interested in (G)UI applications from KDE by restricting ourselves in our vision to (G)UI applications. Of course, the mission statement can mention that we _mostly_ (but not entirely) focus on (G)UI applications and supporting libraries and services. Regards, Ingo
