I'm used to replying inline, so this will take some
getting used to.  Thanks for taking a quick look at
it.  I noticed actually that there's a link to the
test plan on the Kopete wiki.  One of the Kopete
developers evidently took notice.

Hopefully I'll be able to find some time this weekend
to complete the test plan, adding a part for the
configuration of notifications.  Once I've done that,
I'll remove the "draft" references from the test plan.

In any case, I look forward to your more detailed
comments.  Viel Spass beim Reisen!
