ideas for features I’ll be working on

[Alexander van Loon]

Hi Roger,

I’ve already been in contacted with Michel Ludwig (Kile maintainer) and he said he will assist in writing a story, but I 
thought it would be better to submit it to the Dot, because it will probably be a long article, too long for the Digest, and 
because the absence of significant recent commits to Kile don’t justify covering it in the Commit Digest. So the idea for a 
feature on Kile can be removed (question is how it can be removed, I don’t know).

Greetings,
Alexander van Loon
