Yes, there is a reason -- Korn has somebody that agrees to maintain it.. KBiff doesn't. KBiff is my "baby", the first KDE app I ever wrote. However, I just can't justify spending the necessary amount of time to handle bug fixes and feature requests. That's why KBiff was removed from kdenetwork after being in it for quite a few releases. I've tried at least 4 times in the past to get somebody else to maintain it.. but for one reason or another, none of them have panned out. Until somebody agrees to ACTIVELY (no half-assed attempts.. I can do that on my own) care for it, it'll have to stay out of KDE CVS. -- Kurt Granroth | http://www.granroth.org KDE Developer/Evangelist | SuSE Labs Open Source Developer granroth@kde.org | granroth@suse.com KDE -- Conquer Your Desktop >> Visit http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
