I need to look for all this. I just got my sequitur at kde.org address fixed 
yesterday so if it went there I didn't get it.

There are some viable concerns about the present look of the site. Also one of 
my plans is to integrate a supporters page and make the link on the main page 
prominent. There we can offer logos, advertisements, links and such. We can 
recognize supporters and distinguish between business and personal 
contributions. My intent is to stratify it to give our most active supporters 
prominent ranking.

Sorry to be so busy but if I can be sure ideas and questions are directed to 
me I will be sure to address them. I hope to be more effective in the coming 
months as my health is good now and I was unable to concentrate for some time 
when I had health issues.
