Hi All!

Hope you all had a good and relaxing weekend!

I agree with that it would exclude a lot of people, but one problem I really 
see with that is that of the 'basic' tasks, like finding a certain 
application to start it (different nomenclature and/or icons) and different 
basic KDE Apps like konquerer, which just have improved immensely. But 
outside of that, I fully agree with what you wrote in your mail, and it 
really sounds like a plan to get working on!

One question to that...do the programmer KNOW that we are out there? I am 
sorry if I ask about some old stuff which was already chewed 5 times, but are 
there already actions being taken or planned to 'market' (sorry, could not 
find any better word) to the programmers...just to tell them on what we are 
working, what we are planning and to actively give us input and 'use' us?

That would make it easy to even put it in a web-interface or db for the 
distribution of the study.

You have a good start into the week and take care all,
