Per, note that the =E2=80=9Csuggested description=E2=80=9D that Carlo refer= s to above is the canonical description that GNU has for Kawa: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/womb/gnumaint/rec/pkgblurbs= .rec We should change it if it doesn=E2=80=99t match the way you would present K= awa. Let us know what you think! Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
