Why dont you answer to the later statements of Arnold?

1. Most Voctrainers - so ours - have the problem that there are no voc data to 
train with. KVerbos generates lots of data by itself.

2. Furthermore there are lots of discussion about the usability/GUI of 
KVocTrain. So in my oppinion it is not yet an alternative. 

3. If we empasise voc training we will lose language specific gramar sections. 
KLatin tries to work on that, KVerbos does, too. 

Conclusion:
Since we dont have a general "KLanguage" application featuring plugins for 
several language specific training sections we should not bann tiny projects 
like Kverbos from kdeedu, imho.
