I'm creating some UML stencils for Kivio, and currently have Class Diagra=
m and=20
Activity Diagram collections [mostly] done. I've encountered some weird=20
behavior with <KivioShape type=3D"TextBox"> elements. If I place more tha=
n one=20
on a stencil then they both display the same text.

Is Kivio being actively developed? Is there CVS access to the source so I=
 can=20
work on it? The app has lots of potential, but lots of problems too. Here=
's a=20
list of some things that I'd like to work on (not necessarily in any=20
particular order):

1. Fix the connector decorations so they work.
2. Add smart connectors - both square corner and curved.
3. Add lots of stencils:
=09a. UML stencils (already started doing this)
=09b. Network diagramming stencils
=09c. Electrical engineering stencils
=09d. Office space stencils
=09e. Org chart stencils
4. Documentation:
=09a. How to create stencils (perhaps create a stencil-building tool).
=09b. Create the Kivio manual that's eluded to on the Help button.
5. Add undo capability.
6. Add scripting capability so Kivio could be extended to, say, automatic=
ally=20
generate a diagram of your network or build an object-hierarcy diagram fr=
om=20
your C++ source code.=20
7. Fix general bugs.

Regards,
Eric
