I have not faded away, although it would appear that way.  I have not
had the luxury of being particularly active the past couple of months
due to increased responsibilities at work, but I continue to read every
post to this list, pop into irc from time-to-time and make the
occasional tweak to a doc/wiki page.

My plan is to be able to participate more actively very soon.  Just
wanted to chime-in on the side of Kubuntu documentation.
