Some of the stuff discussed here overlaps with the "Extra Mile" project being run by Aurelien, myself and KDE Quality team.
The idea is we make a big list of very minor small annoying bugs, and encourage people to help file these, and in the meantime we blog trying to encourage developers not to just hack within the comfort of their own application (which we tend to do) but to go through all KDE polishing all the neglected little things. So for example, encouraging people to report a very very _specific_ bug that keyboard navigation is non-existant in the battery applet (to pick a completely random example), and also at the same time drumming up resources to fix them. Or a bug on each icon that's a different size in the sys-tray, or any window that opens at a ridiculous stupid initial size, etc. etc. This is already an established WIP, we've bootstrapped the initial list of minor bugs to fix, we've got a plan, started on some blog/promo. It's all pretty much just pending for the main guy leading the program to get back from holiday and for us to get over the Kubuntu rush before we hit with blog posts, bug reports and patches. I think this "shaping it up/back to basics" program would be worth looking at "joining forces.", it's all very well saying we're going to do something, but making patches is the only thing that matters.
