This is by no means a lack of respect towards the effort others put into porting code to freebsd; I just think the KDE team never expressed a need for resources from freebsd, and rely on themselves. The KDE development seems more centralized, too. Ofcourse, it might be a good idea to put a link to this project as well, I didn't even know about it... If somebody (you?) would write a short writeup about this project and its status - just a few lines - then we could put out a newsflash about it. It's a bit hard for me since I don't use KDE ;) What do you think? wouter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
