We want to refrain from KDE bashing. If you browse the dev mail list archives from a while ago, you'll discover that a couple of KDE devs invited themselves into our mail list and started a nasty spitting contest. Got rather heated. Nobody won and one of the KDE devs took to his blog to continue bashing Trinity. He stopped that public campaign when a lot of people posted comments to his blog entry to leave us the hell alone, that the free/libre software philosophy allows and embraces forking. He was reminded that we were not harming anybody. After those public rebuttals he stayed away, but I have not forgotten him or his tirades. I'm not afraid of bashing KDE4, especially the piece of shit known as akonadi, or the obvious relentless fan-boyism that permeates the entire KDE culture. Yet I'd rather we follow the advice of Voltaire's Candide and just "tend our own garden." >------------------------------ >"Recently I discovered Trinity.

Looks fine and thank you. Subject to final review by other team members of course. :) Darrell
