Hi,

I would like to see KolourPaint become an official part of KDE.  KolourPaint 
1.0 "Seagull" (stable) was recently released (see 
http://kolourpaint.sf.net/).

KolourPaint is actively developed and provides functionality that ordinary 
users need but are not found together in any other KDE paint programs:

- full undo/redo support
- reliable saving
- transparent image editing
- tools like line, pen, eraser, brush, fill, colour picker, colour eraser, 
spraycan, rectangle, polygon, ellipse, curve, text
- flexible selection support (freeform, rectangular and elliptical shapes; 
background subtraction with a unique "Colour Similarity" feature)
- image editing abilities (scale, rotate, skew, invert colours, manual & 
automatic cropping...)

KolourPaint provides the functionality required by the average user for 
everyday tasks like drawing simple diagrams/logos/icons and editing 
screenshots.

If there are no major objections, I will ask sysadmin at kde.org to do the move.

Clarence
