I don't mind, it's ok with me.
But it's Klemens who cares about KMemAid;
if anybody has to say "ok", then it should be Klemens, IMHO.
And AFAIK he is very busy.
I am recently busy too. :-(

Before eventual incorporating KMemAid into KDE some bug fixes would need to be 
done. I believe they are rather trival; if nobody claims he/she will fix 
them, I can do that if I will find some more spare time:

While considering K/MemAid for KDE: please note that K/MemAid doesn't have 
sure prospects for the future.
I mean: I am now close to start a MemAid-alternative project (not open 
sourced, sorry), and  I cannot make any promises about my future work on 
MemAid. (I would be glad if other people would work K/MemAid it though).
I also don't say that I won't work on MemAid at all (in fact: I would like to 
provide ideas, *at least* bug fixes to my parts of code, and drop some 
ideas&code from my commercial project into MemAid with some delay, but as I 
said: I make no promises at all.)

OTOH: K/MemAid is already pretty functional. It's a simple app, need some 
final polishing (esp. fixing all this bugs that appeared), but it's not that 
much after all.
All in all, I personally think it's a good choice for KDE; pretty simple app, 
but MUCH better (in terms of learning effectiveness) than all those common 
flash-cards programs without any algorithm of effective repetitions.
