I also live in the US but, as Carl, I cannot really spend time on this this 
evening. I have taken a quick look at your book, and although it seems a 
wonderful effort, it has some issues from a branding perspective. You very 
often refer to KDE as software, whereas we try to emphasize that KDE is the 
community which creates products such as the different workspaces (Plasma 
Desktop, Plasma Netbook, etc.), the KDE Development Platform (which is in the 
process of becoming the KDE Frameworks), and applications. From what I have 
seen, the use of 'KDE' in your book often refers to the KDE Development 
Platform. It would be great if you could go through the text and use the 
correct term when appropriate, but I do not have the time to do that myself 
right now. The bottom line, however, is: KDE = the community, and it should 
only be used in that sense; whenever you refer to something the community 
produces, we have specific terms for each of those products. More details on 
branding can be found in the wiki:
