hi

i looked at my calendar and saw that the first beta would be better around the 
19th of april because our easter-hollidays begin at the 11th. that would 
offer a possibllity to get kexi in a even better state before it's first 
public release. 9 days of 24 hour programming... well that could be very 
usefull :)

think about it, maybe it isn't importent too much...
