thanks for the flattery, and I'm very much looking forward to your 
participiation. Please note that I do not have a whole lot of time for the 
project at the moment (I hope that will improve again, soon). Just so you know 
that if you don't get feedback immediately, that's not for a lack of interest.

Yes, one of the key advantages is the text editor component. Also KDE is 
currently working on becoming more modular, so the KDE dependency will 
hopefully become less heavy in the not-too-distant future.

The website is definitely in need of some love. As you can see this is 
currently based on a wiki, to reduce the maintenance effort. But even within 
this framework, a lot can certainly be done both about content and design. I 
have just given you editor rights in the wiki, so you can start working on 
improvements. Of course, for larger changes, and esp. for changes to central 
pages, please do your work on a temporary page, first, and ask for feedback on 
the rkward-devel mailing list, if in any doubt.

Regards
Thomas
