Again I should add that I'm not trying to hassle you; you've done some
wonderful work.

Though if your packages are significantly different from the packages that
will move into sid, this beta-testing might or might not be of use; it'll be
a good beta test of KDE but a less useful beta test of the debian packaging
(which is what in particular this group should be trying to get right).

Well clearly the more critical places where the packages differ is with
kdelibs/etc; these core packages are not my responsibility and I guess if
there's coordination involved it'll need to be between you and calc.
As for the modules I maintain that you've provided your debian/ for, there
seem to be some good ideas, some design decisions that I disagree with, some
removal of components to support non-KDE users (eg., xpms, HTML docs), some
issues of purely personal taste and some changes that I already have in CVS
in different forms (presumably made after you branched from CVS).
If you mail me with a list of which of your changes you think are important to
have in the final packages, we can see what we agree on. :) Though please
take a look in CVS first as opposed to listing changes from the point at
which you branched, since there have been some significant updates in CVS
since then.
Thanks - Ben. :)

Just because people don't know their myths and hardly read anymore,
does it mean I'm cryptic or does it mean we're just very uneducated as
far as our word paints. Our pallets are like four colors now. We're back
to red, blue and what's the other one? See what I'm saying. I do feel
sometimes
that if it's not three-dimensional and so tangible that it can work
back-to-back
with Riki Lake and Jerry Springer then people think the writers aren't
making sense. To me, the audience isn't making sense. I feel half the audience
is working on a McDonald's mentality-and I have no problem with the french
fries. They're all over my thighs. Left, right and center, they're
there-you'll
find them if we ever wind up in a coffin together. But I do feel like I'm
encouraging college students to stretch. You all have a responsibility
to understand your writers rather then rolling your eyes and concluding
they're not making sense. Or maybe you're just a dingbat.
