Sure :)

In this case I would like to point out to discussions from... actually 
one year ago (wow, I thought it was just a few months back):

http://lists.kde.org/?l=kplato&m=109890241127367&w=2
and
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kplato&m=109924507813872&w=2
They are from October 2004.
Basically nothing has been decided and so far we sticked to the custom 
file format KPlato uses.

The link http://proj.chbs.dk/specifications/ was also pointed to in 
previous discussions. .... I see, the site improved meanwhile. So 
everyone ready for a next round of investigation?

Well, I'm basically open to anything that makes sense in the end. For 
me it's THE most-important thing for a KPlato release - a useful file 
format. If you have suggestions, please post them here. Also, I MUST 
note that the release is not that far off (probably February 2006, 
with feature freeze earlier!!).

KPlato has at least _some_ format now - which IS XML based. It IS an 
option to just go with the current format, although I'm not sure if 
it's the best one (I personally doubt it, but we'll see what we can 
find).

Best Regards,
