</I>><i> The idea is good but my experience is rather discouraging, too - in about
</I>ten years I've found not even one person who will proofread KDE or at least
some part of it - and KDE is really big project. Same. of course, about
Mandriva... But anyway, the call for it is good plan and maybe somebody may
even be found.
