They are co-authors, but Frederik appears to be the more active of the
two.

The idea at this point, which is very early in our analysis, is to use
KSql as a base for creating an MS Access type product.  With Phil
Thompsons work on the Python scripting, that would be the language, and
then with our work on KDE Studio, we should be able to leverage the
widgets between the two so you can have more robust forms, and then of
course making it part of KOffice for embedding various types of things,
perhaps we can make use of KSpread for the grids - there are various
things that we are evaluating at the moment.  We just wanted to make
sure that the effort was going to be a positive one for everyone.
