I don't know what these "very harsh criticisms" are and they don't reflect the point of view of KDE or KDE-Edu. I am the KDE-Edu coordinator and I think you are free to do what you want and port any KDE app to GTK. However I also think it's a waste of time and resources to duplicate work and we have better things to do in order to provide teachers the tools they need. Because they need a lot of educational software! This is not about Kalzium, it's about collaboration. We at KDE-Edu already work with 2 other educational distributions, I recently subscribed to Edubuntu-devel in order to see how we also can collaborate. A common database of needs for example would be a good start. Anne-Marie -- edubuntu-devel mailing list edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
