Let us know when you'll be gone again and we'll guarantee even more

I am very much leaning towards that thought as well. GGZ is the meetingplace
Niko was looking for and it makes sense to put the client code (KGGZ's or
our own implementation) in libkdegames to make it available to all KDE
games.

Yes. I suggest we all (at least those of us interested) give KGGZ a try and
look into the API/classes and see how much trouble it would be to port games
to it - hopefully that would be fairly easy.

To be continued..
