I'd love to see education software but i'm not a developer so i can wish \
all  day and not get anything done. But if there are any developers reading \
this  I'd love to see a encyclopedia software. Someone could write the \
program and  encourage the education establishment to provide and write the \
content. An  open source encyclopedia  could really bring good pr and users \
to kde.
