Thanks - I was asking some questions about KDE the last day or two,
but my timing was bad and couldn't track anyone down.  Are the 2 KDE
builds official?  I see the builds on rBuilder, but they're not
officially released (which is ok, but should I publish the links if
someone wants to download it?).  I didn't know about the ISO size -
that's awesome, one CD!

Also, for someone who downloaded the GNOME edition, does conary update
group-kde work to migrate to KDE?

Will add today!  I can see a whole KDE section coming in this month's
newsletter...  I'll also add a bullet about XFCE being started.

Will add today as well.

There is no question I need to be more proactive in planning and
writing the newsletter, and not just to give translators more time.  I
was going to bring it up at the marketing meeting next week (details
coming), but I'm always looking for more volunteers to help write the
newsletter too.  :)

I'll drop another email tonight after I make the above changes.

Thanks!
