Well, something not right here.
1 I find that the onlytarball that has a July date stamp is 
kdevelop-20010705.tar

2, When configured maked & maked install you have a binary of gideon, this 
ok, but should be mentioned.

3. gideon has a version of 0.2 in the about box, is this correct version. 
Problem is that the UI does not match the description in this url:

 screenshots
 ===========
 See http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html?filename=kdev2prev.html

Is the above url and its decription a future direction or is it now. if now 
where is it to be downloaded. a ftp site or url would be nice.

Thanks, I know you guy(s) and Ladie(s) are busy and doing a bang up job. Ver 
2.0 is a good start to a very nice IDE for those of us using them.
