I can take up the idea of a KDE Live DVD with KDE SIG. (I'm cross-posting 
this mail to fedora-kde.) The DVD size would allow us to include more stuff, 
like translations (kde-l10n-*, those are fairly huge and there are many 
supported languages), input method support (the current GNOME live CDs 
include that, but we weren't able to fit it on the KDE ones), additional 
applications (there are plenty of nice KDE apps, and we might also consider 
including stuff like OO.o), maybe upstream wallpapers (not as the default, 
but as options). We've found the CD size to be very limiting.

That said, getting the DVDs (also your GNOME one) mirrored might be non-
trivial, especially in the beginning, as there's already (still) the 
installer DVD as well as both live CDs for mirrors to carry.
