I don't like this idea. It sounds like an auto-fork. Two different versions of 
Kalzium will be, sooner or later, two different programs. And that will throw 
a little confusion.

Please, consider this other idea: extracting some functionality of the current 
program and implement it as modules (or even plugins) that you can activate 
through the configure dialog. And then, with the remaining functionalities, 
you can decide wich of them shoud be included in an "advanced mode".

I agree. That's the way. I don't like that kdeedu have science related 
programs (kalzium, kstars and some maths related programs). Maybe a 
kdescience should be a better place for these programs.

By now, kdeedu has so many different audiences, from children to scientist, 
and from languages to science. IMHO, I'd prefer 3 packages: one for children 
(maybe kdeedu-children), another for science (maybe kdeedu-science), and 
another one for language related programs (maybe kdeedu-languages).
