Okay. I changed some more of these and commited them to cvs. There are some cases where one needs to search for strings like "to&do". > There were six different versions of to-do in various places so a recent > discussion on kde-doc-english chose one to use throughout, so over the next > couple of days I hope to replace them all.

But we still have the problem that in several places the term "task" (task list, etc) is used, while in other places the term "to-do" is used. Maybe the people at kde-doc-english can discuss this issue, too. Personally, I'd like "task" more than "to-do", although I'm more used to the latter (since I've been working with that term for years now). I'm also sending this message to kde-doc-english to start the discussion on to-do vs. task. Please cc me on replies, as I'm not subscribed there. Cheers, Reinhold > PS.

Yes, our university refuses to accept mails from yahoo domains, unless it comes from a yahoo mailserver. Spammers typically use yahoo email addresses, but use open spam relays to send the mail, so this is a measure to prevent spam. - -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------ Reinhold Kainhofer, Vienna University of Technology, Austria email: reinhold@kainhofer.com, http://reinhold.kainhofer.com/ * Financial and Actuarial Mathematics, TU Wien, http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/ * Deltasoft mathematics, http://www.deltasoft.at/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBPxM9TqjEwhXvPN0RAqP9AJ9behWfxgK0favSIMMOoiqzjFpvgACgk1bV wGITL1YH7wip/fAIPN3pfLc= =Q+/B -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ kde-doc-english mailing list kde-doc-english@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-doc-english
