@All
My main intentions regarding the article is to attract more people who 
want to contribute. It would be nice (at least for me) if in the next 
release more functionality can be found. That's way I wanted to write it 
as soon as possible. But regarding of your feedback it seems meaningful 
to wait until the next release. When is the next release planed? Right 
now I "copy" some functions of Rcmdr. I hope the finish the 
distributions within the next two weeks.
@Thomas
A brief description of the history is important since it would be the 
first article on pro-linux. Mentioning when the project was started (by 
whom), when the first release came up and so on. But I'll write you a pm.
