[kde-edu]: KVocTrain-Parlez

[Frederik Gladhorn]

Morning all!

Ok, here's my point of view, I guess.
Many of Iljas comments are really good and I implemented some improvements 
thanks to him. That is very good.

But Ilja, your tone does not motivate me. I get the feeling that you demand of 
me to do work. I don't want that. I'm not here to be commanded around.
Some things that you demand are simply wrong.

So my point is: Only negative feedback (welcome too) will not keep me going 
for ever. Please use nicer words, recognize that there is progress, ask 
questions nicely. Your input is valuable! Don't make me ignore it because of 
bad packaging :)

Instead of complaining, I will go back to coding now :)

I wish you all a great day!

Ilja:
There is for example a fine but important distinction between Language and the 
Title. What should people do that practice files containing two columns of 
English? Like word-definition. Should they have to lie about the language? ;)
Also there is a reason why image and sound are not officially there. I added 
both in one afternoon in one place to play around with the gui. They will 
probably not show up in the KDE 4.0 release anyway.
