If there's such a mass of users wanting to keep kde3 going, it is theoretically possible to collectively fund a developper to do the work you want done. quanta and freenet are 2 examples of programs for whom such a thing has been done That ofc assumes that: a) theres's a sufficient mass of users that want to keep kd3 going in at least maintenance mode b) they care enough to chip in a little bit -- Cheers, Cobaco (aka Bart Cornelis)
