Yeah, one that is called www.wikipedia.org :)

Ah, cool. Yes, I can remember now :) Good idea I had back then :)

Soon beeing post-akademy I guess. There are to many issues now so I would like 
to wait until we meet in person and fix things like the nuclideboard. A week 
or two after akademy we can release it.
I even think it is a good idea to a nother relase by the end of the year for 
Qt3/KDE3.5 with some new features. The time between 3.5 and 4.0 is to long 
for Kalzium, I think. Distros like Skolelinux would probably like to have a 
intermediate release.
