Ok, so send them to the list (in the proposed format if possible), we can 
merge. Also please post your intro, i will look whether it would be possible 
to merge these, too.

Oh my... In the first place, i am not subscribed to all the lists i cover. I 
use knode and the oh-so-cool gmane gateway (ie - i read the lists in a 
newsreader). So i don't have mboxen of the lists available. At least i can do 
without the stats... If you can't live without them, i think you will have to 
do them yourself.

I can do kde-devel, kde-core-devel, kmail, kde-pim, kde-optimize, kfm-devel, 
quanta-devel (or what is it called) and koffice-devel.

Yes. I forgot to add, that all the <section> stanzas should have author="Your 
Name" attribute like this:
<section
        title="Kontact issues"
        subject="Kontact issues"
        author="Peter Rockai (mornfall)"
        posts="10"
        startdate="31 October 2003 01:22:31"
        enddate="31 October 2003 18:17:08">

This way, all the respective authors will be mentioned in header and each 
summary will have its author mentioned.

I have hacked together simple cooperative buildsystem, which works like this: 
i drop individual summary files into a directory (kc-kde-<issuenumber>) in 
something.d style (01-intro.xml 10-kicker.xml ...) and it generates and 
validates the resulting kc-kde-<issue>.xml, which can be sent to Zack (if i 
understand it correctly).

OK, we can standardize on Sunday.

So, just to remind you: please send the summaries to the list, i will 
incorporate them into #67. Thank you!
