have a story about that branch and what it was for and so on. I can write one for you, or you can ping me on irc and ask 
questions if you want to write the story yourself.

Thank you for your help Boudewijn. I think it’s best if you write the story and e-mail it to me and if I have any questions or 
comments then I’ll contact you through IRC (I assume you said IRC because your e-mail is down according to you identi.ca 
account?). I’m not sure if you’ve written for us before, if not please take a look at http://commit-digest.org/ for examples of 
other stories to get an impression of the length and content of the piece. Possibly some screenshots of the new features 
provided by the koffice-essen branch would also be nice material to have.
