[Ktechlab-devel] Start a ktechlab yahoo group

[Peter Jørgensen]

Hey..

I think it would be nice to have some sort of forum to get people together
around this project, but I don't know if it would expand the user base. I've
always found mailing lists to be confusing and clunky, because they lack a
nice and clean overview of topics/threads.
It is quite frustrating to see this project fail, when I really want to
contribute something useful, as it is such a nice program. But I probably
don't have the skills to manage the project or write any C++ code. I have
some experience in python and php, but that doesnt help much. I would like
to help, but don't know where to put my effort. Translating the application
to all languages, will neither put this project further. First of all we
need a project leader, who can tell people what to help with ;)
