Hmmm... the first time I saw lisa in action, I was delighted.  It was on a 
Mandrake box, IIRC.  Since I switched to Debian, I never quite got 
lisa/lanbrosing to work at all :-(.  One of the things that confiunded me was 
not being able to find documentation on how to set up the thing with kde -- 
io/slave stuff, etc.

I would like to work on this, since that is the only way -- I think -- I will 
be able to get lisa working ;-)

I have experience with networking and related coding.  Needless to say, I have 
been using KDE for a long time now. What I dunno is GUI stuff, and have no 
experiecne in KDE development. Working on LISA sounds ideal.  I can spare 
only a couple of hours during the week, and perhaps more on the weekends.

Pls... any pointers to get me started?  I suppose I must start testing lisa 
first?
