Huh? Do you seriously want to tell us that you'd have to be a "schizophrenic with a PhD in business management" to "translate into English" terms like "milestone", "artwork concepts" and "new technologies"?

If those are the worst buzzwords you've ever heard, you must've led a VERY sheltered life - in fact, I'd go so far as to say they're not buzzwords at all. You could just as well complain about the use of words such as "developers", "multimedia framework" and "buildsystem".

That's not to say that the *actual* press releases put out by the KDE product aren't, well, press releases that read like press releases, but this isn't one of them.

Quick, what's an "artwork concept", as opposed to just saying "artwork"? (But other than that, I did not find the announcement too buzzword-laden).

Well maybe it's somewhat similar to a class diagram being a concept of the code that has yet to be written.

The artwork concept is the general theme that the artwork will follow. The artwork is the
files that implement that concept.
