Hey all,

Seeing as the first alpha of 3.3 is to be released on 23rd May, I would dearly 
like to get KLatin in this release.

Anne-Marie told me on IRC that it is not KDE-Edu material as its vocab section 
does basically what KVocTrain does. However, I feel that the other three 
sections (Verbs, Grammar and Revision) can not be replaced by other KDE-Edu 
apps as Latin is taught very differently to any other language (except 
Classical Greek). And of course, no Latin program is complete without a 
vocabulary tester, hence why I threw that in.

In the grand scheme of things, though, I would like KLatin to become a lot 
like the Windows program, "Latin without Tears", and also to incorporate 
support for Classical Greek. The webpage URL for Latin without Tears is at 
http://www.doctor-flynn.demon.co.uk/lwt1.htm. It has a lot of 
Classics-specific functionality, such as sentence analysis, passages for 
translation, vocabulary etc.

Any comments on the future of KLatin? I would be very disappointed if the last 
three years of work (in between school) was a total waste of time.

Regards,

George
