Yup, 8.0.

Yeah, I'm interested in possibly building an app based on Kivio (or
something like it). I'm considering building a data-scrubbing
application with a data-flow type of architecutre. Being able to build
the data-flow and configure the scrubbing app (and eventualy executing
it) using a GIU like Kivio's would be ideal.

Hmm...I'll have to try to make that meeting then. I've been going
through some of the QT and KDE tutorials and guides. QT seems
straightforward (I've used MFC before and it seems vastly superior).
The signal/slots architecture seems simple enough. I just need more
experience working with it (two days and counting at this point).

It does, thanks.
