I totally agree with that. 

A short reminder about the moving to kdeedu:

The process for inclusion in kdeedu is to first move the application to 
kdereview and at the same time to describe it to kde-core-devel mailing list 
and ask for inclusion in kdeedu. The basic requirements are that it's as much 
as possible based on kdelibs, it builds well, it has a complete doc and it is 
i18n ready. Having a usability study for it and ensuring you did some profiling 
are nice additions.
The application will stay for 2 weeks in kdereview where it gets peer review 
(usually in the form of answers on the kde-core-devel mailing list)
If no problems are discovered it can be moved to kdeedu and a bug component 
canbe created for it as well as webpages. You might also considere to blog 
about it and to aggregate your blog on Planet KDE to create a buzz!
