no need for apologize, Andras,
I appreciate all the work you put in quanta in the past.
in the end, you needed a job to live from, with your family.
and, as I see, this is still one where you can work on kde, thus directly =

taking profit from what you did, then, and (hopefully) have fun.
all ok, then :)

I'm not complaining about new developments like kde4/akonadi/nepomuk not =

working 'out of the box' as expected.
I know things like that need their time to mature. this is quite normal.
but I'm still not convinced the whole direction taken was the right decisio=
n.
it just seems like overkill to me to e.g. have a database server running on=
 a =

simple single user desktop system just to be able to share adresses/emails =

between applications (which is a good thing, though).
so I'm back to a system I know well, which I can configure/backup/maintain =

easily, as everything is based on simple text files, _not_ binary blobs whi=
ch =

can only be deleted when inconsitent/corrupted.
speed/responsiveness is another issue.
so, for the time beeing, I have decided to go another way.
I'll try kde4 again, some more time in the future, though.
keep up your work improving it :)
