	Ok, I think I am ready to jump in and at least try. I have Kate set up 
for Docbook, and the sources built from git. I have read all of the how-
tos on the wiki. I learn best by doing, so send me the features!! In the 
meantime I will start poking around this new kmail and compare to the 
docs to see what is amiss.

	The only thing I could not find is , where do I submit this stuff? I 
Started to do some of the items in the EBN, but I am not entirely sure 
what and where to send this stuff. Do I make a patch file, or rename 
the original and make changes and send (where?) the whole thing? 

Thanks for any assistance anyone can give.
Scarlett
