Opportunities: Arise out of weakness as well as strengths, hence: More KDE integration. Have KDE as a main Live CD (alongside GNOME based) rather than as a spin. A better HCL (on the lines of SuSE [1]). Threats: Users tend to be frightened by the complexities, as with most distros. Show off ease of use as a feature. Penchant for bleeding edge may push stability to the brink. Do add more, or finetune these.
