Hi Marc,

thanks a lot for your interest in KPlato. And yes, KPlato is certainly 
actively developed. But there is only one active maintainer (Dag 
Anderson), thus there is not much list traffic.

KPlato is already far developed and can be considered usable in an 
experimental state. It is intended to improve it further to include 
it in the next major KOffice release (after KOffice 1.4).

I'm also interested in contributing to KPlato, but won't have enough 
time before... August this year I assume. Then I'll help out with 
KPlato as much as I can, so it can be included in the next KOffice 
release.

KPlato, as a KDE and KOffice application, has enormous potential for 
an integrated project managing application (IMO). I think this makes 
it very interesting and KPlato deserves to be created/developed.

If you consider to contribute, please don't hesitate to put forward 
your ideas on this list so they can be discussed. You can also check 
out the current SVN version of KPlato and look through the source 
code. There is no particular roadmap in terms of features apart from 
being included in the next major KOffice release (if it's ready by 
then). Thus you're free to put forward your own ideas. I'd be happy 
to discuss features and ideas about KPlato with you (and Dag 
certainly as well).

Best Regards,
