Yes.

Yes.  And just because different voices are interesting, and different accents 
are interesting too.  While I might say "Komdu sæll og blessaður" with 
american-accented icelandic, another might say it with an italian accent or 
who knows what else.

Also keep in mind languages where there are different forms based upon whether 
you are greeting a male or female.  If it were a female, then I would say 
"Komdu sæl og blessuð".

It's really not.

I have space on a server...no problem.  I can put everything at
http://www.somerandomdomain.com/~cshobe/kdehi/ :).

You'll have to E-mail me files to upload though, and I don't have a microphone 
myself...so there's nothing there yet.

But better would be to use someplace on kde.org.
