Well, there's no fixed times. Some people usually start early around 09:00 
CET. Everyone comes as he he can afford it (time-wise). So sometimes things 
are still pretty active in the (my) evening, sometimes people from the US are 
pretty much on their own. We hope we can expand a little so everyone can get 
its fair share of bugs, help and company.

Hm.. sorry, don't know about this one. We usually don't change from Bug -> 
Wishlist unless it's very clear that it's not a bug. Judging from what I 
talked with the koffice developers they like to keep their things clean so I 
don't think they did some short-time priorization marking it a wish. Do you by 
any means still have the bug#?

.. apart from that we're not too much into developers' politics and policies. 
They ask us to do something, we do it :)

Regards,
Michael
