Hi,
If you think that what will happen is an evolution from kdev 1.1 to kdev2.0
rather than the abrupt jump which was first envisaged, one of the first
thing which should be taken care of is the project management and the
performances.
If you remembered, at one time I offered to work on the performance issue as
far as switching from document to document is concerned.  The way it is done
is both slow and error prone.
