Ok I applogize if I wasn't clear enough. I did say "plea" and "please" and 
"not force"

I absolutely don't want to force anyone. In fact that would certainly be 
counterproductive. I just tried to get people to understand what is needed. 
The sooner we get kpresenter out the door the sooner we can release .

no but the main parts of koffice are unless they get help.

ok you are right most of us don't want to release an office suite without 
office apps.

Well I'm working on the imagesshape, which could need some basic 
coloradjustment tools - that wouldn't be that far from your expertise. and 
certainly very isolated from flake.

Also the small colorselector needs to be perfected and moved to libs and 
used by KoColorDocker.

I'm sure there will be lots of other small assignments, that would free up 
time for others to do flake work.
