As you may (or may not) know, I'm now officially a KDE developer, and Cookbook is in the kdenonbeta CVS module. (http://www.mcs.kent.edu/~dwatson/cookbook.html , this page is a bit out of date, since I've been adding lots of nice goodies and haven't bothered to update my webpage :)
It's stable, but won't be in 2.2, because it didn't make the freeze, hence the reason it's in kdenonbeta. But just because it's not in the release doesn't mean that Debian users should be deprived of its wonderfulness, does it? :) I develop on a Sid box, so it shouldn't be any trouble to get it to build. I know nothing about making debs, and would rather spend my time improving Cookbook than muddle through making a deb and probably do a bad job... is there anybody who could do this? -David
