I didn't expect such direct invoking... So consider me trolled, even though
I'm not sure there is much I can say.

There is something satisfying about being able to say that you've gone through
all of an application's bugs. Like with kopete. 

Inge suggested that kword mattered most, but probably we should leave it up
to all their devs to argue^w decide. So I put the koffice-devel cc: back in. ;)

Boredom is bad. But I suspect we could finish kword in one "day". 

I know the schedule was revised, but I thought we had some blank days in it. 
When were they? 

And speaking of "days", tommorrow evening I plan on doing some of the kdepim 
day triage, so if you want to join in but couldn't on Sunday, and you like 
the company, drop into #kde-bugs and see if I'm around.
