Hi Stefan,

thanks for all your work on arts. You helped KDE when I needed to drop out of kdemultimedia due to work
related issues. You know I supported the idea of getting arts in KDE, and I am still convinced it was the right
thing to do at that point of time.
I know there was much work involved, and most of the work was yours - it sure wasn't fun all the time.

I don't know how kdemultimedia will evolve until KDE4.
Well, this is not completely true any more - Akademy has helped me a lot in making up my own mind:
While going to Akademy completely uncertain, and leaving Akademy confused, I now have an idea what role
KDE should play in the Unix/Linux MM world (no, I am not keen on starting a discussion on that now :). 

Hope to see you some time again.

Bye,
  Chris

PS: If you feel like it, code a nice Linux MM app. Just keep in mind: Do it for your own fun
