Matthias, you are completely right! And I'm sure that aKademy with its hundreds of KDE developers being present on one single spot will be a great and exciting chance to start such an effort. I'd like to remind people that the first KDE usability style guide was created during the KDE II meeting in 1999 which served as one of the sources for the Gnome HIG.
