Simple. Because I want to. Nothing more complicated than that.As much as possible, the pillars of KDE and existing KDE infrastructures are/will be used, and constructive feedback provided to the respective projects.The source code is maintained on http://gitorious.org and anyone interested in helping is certainly welcome.Feedback and patches are definitely welcome. I only ask one thing: please be respectful. I do this in my spare time and, as such, I'd like to keep my motivation up.
