Academia, always changing, always the same.  Sounds fascinating, and I hope 
you get plenty of the credit for yourself!

I'm really thrilled to see you back, you've been missed dreadfully, but it 
sounds like you've been having fun while away, or at the very least, keeping 
yourself busy!

KOffice is due for freeze on the 28th - if you feel like diving into any 
proofreading in there, go right ahead, if you can get anything done it would 
rock.  If not, that's ok, it's a pretty tight timeframe.  I'm jumping around 
in the kpresenter doc, and not sure that I can get any more than that done in 
time on my own.  

KDE itself, is wide open, and likely to be for quite a long while yet, there's 
no schedule set at all yet.  The Kastle conference starts this week, with a 
week long  hack fest the week after.  We might possibly see a schedule set 
after that, but for sure there'll be plenty of changes going on in CVS.

Talk about moving that into kdelibs for re-use in other apps.. I'm not sure 
it's an actual application, but a widget that could be embedded, so you may 
not get to change khexedit after all :)

Regards, and welcome back!
