Oh good.  I want to become more active in KDE and in my distro (e.g. non-zero), and I was concerned this would be a bad start.  ;-)

If you were referring to the Google Docs I put up in my original message in

this thread - yes. However I did put a nice message there saying "Please don't

edit this document, use this Etherpad URL instead".



If you're talking about previous Google Docs in general, I have no idea.

imag1narynumber,

You're referring to the KDE booklet for handing out at booths right?  Or at least that is what you had contacted me to help with.  This is a different thread.  We're talking about the 4.5 release day announcement here...the booklet text you were working on should indeed be in a Google doc as we had a ton of pictures embedded in that and never did port it over to etherpad for that reason. So I don't think your work has not been wasted ;-)


thanks,
Justin
