Dear Paul,

Thank you for signing up. We are very pleased about this, especially if we =
can win=20
numerous participants. Unfortunately, our petition is currently stagnating =
with around 870=20
people. Within the first few days, we had a very strong increase in the enr=
olments, so that=20
we had raised our target from 1000 signatories to 3000. However, we are try=
ing to operate=20
the issue very seriously. I have been a KDE user since 2002 and are working=
 on the KDE=20
application RKWard. It will therefore not surprise anyone if I would be par=
ticularly happy=20
about a booster from this site. Anyway, I am happy to wait for the review.

Many greetings

Stefan
