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".

Hehe, yes, it was a mess, and everybody just used whatever version he
personally liked best.

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

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.
