Let's talk about your definition of "time consuming" some time, ok? ;-)

Umm - I'm not so sure about the "easy" part ;-)
What exactly do you consider a "contribution"? Post-KDE3 stuff (e.g. KDE4-port 
and the like)? Or general? Do ports to KAction and similar things count? What 
about simple bugfixes? Do only the games that currently are in kdegames 
count?

I guess I edited several games and some point, but I honestly can't name them 
anymore without looking at the svn history. KPoker and libkdegames for sure 
though, with the latter still being in kdegames.

Yeah... Not so sure if I know "exactly" what I did in the previous few years.
A "svn log | grep andreas" is probably the best I can give you (though I'd 
need to look at the logs, cause some of them are just commits of other 
peoples patches).

After looking at svn/cvs logs:
If you count major stuff that still is in kdegames: libdegames
If you count KAction/XML port: KBlackBox, KJumpingCube, KLines, KMahJongg, 
Konquest, KShisen, KTuberling
If you count keyEvent->KAction port (i.e. minor stuff): KBlackBox, KBounce
If you count KStdGameAction port (i.e. minor stuff): KAction, KJumpingCube, 
Konquest, KShisen, KTuberling

Sure, but in my case neither applies ;-)
Why do you need 2-3 weeks for a svn log? Is svn really _that_ slow for 
you? ;-)
