Sorry for ruining this thread.

Well, I tried to say, that it _seems_ such (like
doesn't-look-too-good, an emotion) to me,
maybe because I'm not-so involved. And maybe to other first time
visitors of that page.

Well, the most important thing I tried to say, is that it is quite
unlikely, that it will support more columns in near future.

Well:

Yes, I meant, that only _some_ files could be merged, and most files could
be provided in kvtml1:

I was only talking about files associated with language learning. But how
it is possible to open these chemical files using KHangMan (or Kanagam)?
Since there isn't any "open file" option, only way is to get them is to
use KHotNewStuff?

So providing them on that webpage is basically useless for _KHangMan_
 (and Kanagram, what also lacks that "open file" support) users.

And when to provide these data files, maybe it would make more sense to
provide them separately to each application? Make such page also for KWordQuiz?
Would be much more understandable for users of each application.

kvtml2 files could be provided as a subsection of that data files page.

Yes, I'm trying to start from somewhere..
