Well, I'll be meeting the Brian Proffitt today at LinuxWorld.  I'm going to 
tell him 
- the number of that signed Navindra's original white paper
- the impressive qt/gtk integration efforts
- kapture
- kalternatives
- the live cd

(any other points? )

and that we are just getting going ...

Patience ... for people like me, with one main production machine that is not 
running Debian, it takes a while to convert everything over.

I would say this project is entering a "settling mode"--the initial 
enthusiastic burst is over, now we will find out who has time to contribute.

Regards,

Mark
