Hello,
I completely agree with what has been said here.
There has not been much work on KWQ recently for two reasons; it is in my o=
pinion more or less feature complete and stable, and due to other interests=
and obligations I have had very little time to devote to it.
I am open to any suggestions or decisions regarding the future of these pro=
grams the larger edu team find appropriate.
Thanks,
Peter

rce wise, as I consider at least Parley unmaintained and I guess KWQ is not=
faring much better. For Parley the aim was to get a nice welcome screen (i=
t's partially there) so that you don't see the editor first but can start p=
racticing right away. But there are still many low hanging fruits (polish t=
he UI, conjugations, ...).
