[bt-devel] First KDE4 RC

Thu Nov 22 02:08:10 MST 2007

Hi Greg,

yes, please send the screenshot to me and Joachim. We need to put it on bibletime.info. =)

You're more than welcome to participate and help iron out the rough edges with platform compatibility. We might need more changes for Windows as well, in future.
