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.
