well, I prefer you CC the program maintainer for a GUI string fix as we had
some errors committed in KDE-Edu for some words where the committer thought
there was a typo which was not one. So I think it's better to CCMAIL: the
program maintainer for GUI string changes and te doc maintainer for doc
fixes.
Personally I always try to CCMAIL people when I fix something in their code or
to ask about it on IRC. I find it a good practice for a good team work.
But this is personnal ;-)
You can go without that, especially for trivial fixes.
About where to commit: now is indeed freeze for 3.5.0 but in a few days, 3.5.1
will be opened for doc fixes (or at least UI string fixes) so I suggest you
work here. My question was to forward-port to kde4 those changes you/I/others
will make for 3.5.1.

Anne-Marie
