There are +a few less important features too.</p> + +<p>Since a few weeks ago, I ran out of time to spend on this project, +but I never got around to releasing the current source. I decided +today that it was time to do something about it, and uploaded the +source to my Debian package store at people.skolelinux.org.</p> + +<p>Because it was simpler for me, I made a Debian package and +published the source and deb.
