-	So no, it's not a target to build a replacement for Exchange

+	The Kolab community welcomes anyone who wants to contribute.

 <c>KDE Client
 <q>Will there be other Kolab clients than the one you develop for KDE?
 
 <a> 
-	The project itself has limited resources and will 
-	concentrate on the KDE Kolab client. 
+	The Kroupware contract itself had a limited focus.
+	We concentrated on the KDE Kolab client. 
 	The whole Kolab server concept is based on open standards,
 	thus other groups like the Mozilla or Evolution people 
 	are welcome to adopt them and become full Kolab clients. 
 	It is up to them and their community to decide to do this.

+<c>KDE Client
+<q>Can I help translating the KDE client?
+
+<a>
+	The KDE Kolab Client is already translated into a couple
+	of languages (most notably German). Help with other
+	translations is possible and should be coordinated through
+	our public mailing lists.  We use the regular KDE procedures,
+	except that the current stable client has its special CVS branch.
