Dear KDE Webmaster,

In the page at the address

	http://www.kde.org/whatiskde/proj.html#factsandfigures

you should replace

	The KDE CVS source code repository holds currently about 1.5 million lines of 
	code. (To put things into perspective: The i386 version of Linux 2.0.31
	consists about 600,000 lines of code.)

with

	The KDE CVS source code repository holds currently about 4 million lines of 
	code. (To put things into perspective: The GNU/Linux kernel version 2.4.2
	consists in about 2.4 million lines of code.)

I think that the KDE FAQ also gives such figures (even more outdated ones, I 
think) Could someone fix that in the FAQ too ?

Sources:

- Linux kernel : http://www.dwheeler.com/sloc/redhat71-v1/redhat71sloc.html

- KDE : I've counted them myself in current head today. I've counted only the 
following file extensions: *.c, *.cc, *.h, *.cpp, *.hpp, *.cxx, *.hxx, *.ui, 
*.desktop. I did not distinguish between lines of comments, empty lines, and 
lines of code. I did not count kde-i18n, kdenonbeta, kde-common and 
kde-extragear.
