Hi guys,
We've been working this morning trying to apply the Language Applications
personas to our language applications, you can see our conclusions here:
https://notes.kde.org/p/kde-edu-sprint
Some of these should probably become bugs reports and some should drive us
to bigger changes. Please take a look at these and tell us what you think!
Cheers!
Aleix

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