Krossword 0.18 alpha is released, Available for Linux OpenSUSE 13.2/13.1 and Gentoo [KDE Environment]

A crossword puzzle game and editor for KDE.
It's based on KrossWordPuzzle[1] by Friedrich Pülz[2] (code from the last revision available on KDE svn[3]). The development has stopped since many years and the original author is unreachable (various attempts to contact him).
For these reasons we (Cilium[4] and me) had to fork it.

General aims of the project:
- maintain the codebase;
- simplify the code where possible aiming to port it to Qt5/KDE Frameworks 5;
- improve the user experience.

Currently it's in alpha stage with some rough edges.

You can contribute with:
- translations (currently available bs, cs, de, eo, es, et, fr, ga, gl, hu, it, mai, mr, nds, nl, pl, pt, pt_BR, sk, sv, tr, ug, uk);
- themes;
- crosswords;
- reporting online *.puz providers (even not-English ones);
- packages;

Changelog of Krossword 0.18 alpha :

- Added language support (with KrossWordPuzzle old translations. Thank you KDE translators!).
- Added a French provider (mots-croises.ch, just the free crosswords).
- Added a new English provider (ChrisWords.com).
- Reworked menu layout (better organization).
- Added a new plain theme (Ink).
- Improved default theme.
- And various minor changes and fixes.
