Thanks for replying, Mauricio.  Unfortunately I cannot attend those
meetings and I don't think anybody posted the log this time.

So I was unaware of this May 8th and kdereview decision and
have been working flat chat on KJumpingCube for the past several
days, in the expectation that it could go straight back into KDE 4.0 if
it could meet previously stated requirements in time for1 June.  IMO
it does now meet those requirements as of last night's commit.

Well, I was just about to sit down and move KJumpingCube back into
trunk/KDE/kdegames myself, since I had had no replies about that, but
then I saw your email ...  I think there is a good case to bend the rules
a little and bypass kdereview, especially as KJumpingCube was not in
bad shape when it got relegated.  See my post on "Status of
KJumpingCube and KSokoban" of 21 May.

Can KJumpingCube go direct back to trunk/KDE/kdegames, bypassing
kdereview?  I will take maintenance responsibility and I do not think there
will be much artwork to do.  Please could you and Johann let me have
your views ASAP?

All the best, Ian W.
