Could you share with us what you discussed? I am interested in every idea 
regarding KNorskVerbs.....

I would be glad to find a correct structure for KLatin, I am struggling with 
the wizard model, don't see how to structure the different pages. But 
KVocabulary looks hardly revolutionary.......

I am not sure KVocabulary can be used for KNorskVerbs (vocab!=verbs). I also 
think that any vocabulary application must give the user the possibility to 
learn with FlashKard hence have the kvtml data format. 
The screenies of KVocabulary are in german which is already bad for me. We 
are there in the debate regarding KVerbos GUI.

I cannot make the program run, it does not launch and disables my whole 
desktop in the process....... Had to use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace....

Having had a quick look to the code, here are my thoughts. Do they want to 
integrate all the KDE languages? Is it really possible to have all languages 
interacting between each other in one app? No data yet.
In short: this app is a good idea but does not answer all the questions we 
try to solve (mainly: data support for every i18n language is not solved, 
data format is not solved, GUI does not seem different than KLatin, GUI 
language is as in KVerbos...)

Not that I want to be negative but we already have KVocTrain that 
could be improved to be "globalized" and KVocTrain seems better to me than 
KVocabulary which is only a main window and 3 dialogs with nothing in them.

Maybe the authors should be contacted (I have little time left to do so 
myself) and they could integrate KDE-Edu either pursuing KVocabulary if they 
have a road map for it or joining some other project.
