Fwd: kdeedu-data

[Jeremy Whiting]

Ok 2 is done, 1 has reviews pending then will be done too. KHangMan
will be released based on kf5 and Qt5 and will depend on
libkeduvocdocument and kdeedu-data just like Kanagram. No other
applications look for these .kvtml files (though you could open them
in kwordquiz or parley, by asking it to open them by filename. Crisis
averted.

thanks,
Jeremy
