+ message to the proper <ulink url="https://l10n.kde.org/teams-list.php">team

- <para>Why did the version number jump from 1.0.5 to 4.5, and what happened to
- KMyMoney2?</para>
- </question>
- <answer>
- <para>The use of KMyMoney2 was a historical legacy from when the project went
- from &kde; 1 to &kde; 2. To avoid changing the name every time there was a new
- &kde; version, we decided to stick with &kmymoney;.</para> <para>The first
- version of &kmymoney; that was considered sufficiently stable was labeled 1.0,
- even though it ran under &kde; 3. As the project became more closely aligned
- with &kde; we decided to use the same major release number.</para>
