Hi,

I do not have any objections.

If some help is needed with tweaking of conversion script (actually, I  
promised to Kdenlive developers that it will work without any additional  
user interaction and need to export xml, but it has not been happened yet  
;) ) or administration (I cannot change the user rights, but can delete  
and move pages ;) ) I will try to help.

Best regards,
Yuri
