I did not know that Frontpage was bought. Well, you learn a new thing every

The great thing about Kafka is that it can only get better and better due to 
it's licencing and open source status.

Whats good as well is that we have some good support from the KDE and Linux 
community, including kind words from the Quanta team (see dot.kde.org). :-)
