The document discusses the past, present, and future of KDE community websites. In the past, sites like KDE-Look.org and KDE-Apps.org helped users become contributors by sharing artwork and apps. Currently, the websites see high traffic but KDE only has a small market share. The vision for the future is a "Social Desktop" where the community is integrated into applications through an Open Collaboration Services API, helping users with problems, events, and finding other users. This would make KDE a more compelling switch from other operating systems.
