You are true and I should be doing it. Do you know how to get a blog hosted on 
https://blogs.kde.org/ ?

I will start to communicate a bit more about Elisa.

By the way, related to the discussion we had some time ago, I am really 
thinking about reusing the music database of Elisa to build a music collection 
manager.
I would like to try to build a simple music collection manager after I get a 
stable first version of Elisa.
Did you had design ideas for a music collection manager (like UI design) ?
I am thinking that a table interface easy to navigate by albums or authors 
could provide an effective UI. I am using Picard but it is not enough for my 
needs.
