Right. Now the Qt Project is a lot more open than it used to be. Anyway, the 
admin for the program does not have to be affiliated with the foundation. It 
just needs to be someone who is willing to organise things.

There's some value in merging in with KDE. However, the Qt Project is not just 
KDE. If there's a willing admin, I think we should try to do it on our own.

The only thing the foundation would be required to do is submit some paperwork 
to Google in order to receive the $500 x number of students.
