I agree, a one-line compile problem is not a big deal.  At all.

That's true, but it's just as easy (and more productive) to simply ask for 
claraification or more information, rather than criticize the person's BR 
skills.  That's not directed at anyone in particular, I'm just trying to get 
us back on track here.

You shouldn't feel this way.  Kanagram is already a good program with a 
wonderful kid-firendly UI, and is certainly a valuable addition to kdeedu 
(IMHO).  My comments about the missing bug report tool were meant to be 
constructive, and I hope you take them that way.

For the most part, I have found kdeedu to be a group in which people are happy 
to help one another, and to give and accept feedback and criticism about the 
apps in a cooperative spirit, and that has been really great.  I sincerely 
hope we can all take a breath, and get back to that ASAP.

peace,
Jason
