As no reaction until now and kdelibs moves git now already, I intend to move 
kate part out of kdelibs and only let it be in kate.git (same for kwrite in 
kdebase and kate in kdesdk).

I propose the weekend 15.-16. Feb for the move (which more or less would only 
be a delete in git/svn of the old copies).

I guess this needs coordination to have for example still working i18n (as the 
docbooks would move too and the i18n stuff needs fixing).
Therefore CC Albert, would that date be ok for you to help me a bit with this? 
Or should I delay and ask on i18n for help?

With kdelibs now being a git, it really is not that nice for contributors of 
kate part to clone whole kdelibs...

Greetings
Christoph
