that's fixable.

it would also be nice if KHNS allowed searching/paging through the entire 
content database instead of only the most recent N items. yes, this is 
extending the scope of KHNS, and no i don't want to see the "last N items" 
lists disappear ... just augment them with access to _all_ the available 
items.

it would be nice, at least for kde-docs.org if at least it were possible to 
tag which language (if any) the template is in so people can select from 
content appropriate to their language.

i don't need German language templates for KWord, but i bet a lot of other 
people would want _only_ German language templates. =)

erg. we should keep this dialog _simple_, not turn it into a web browser =) 
there's no reason one couldn't launch a web browser if appropriate, however.
