About the Author
KPilot is written by Dan
Pilone. I am a graduating senior at Virginia Tech and wrote this
out of personal need, wanting to release something before
graduating, and to show my support for both Linux and
the KDE Project. I am very interested in
feedback, both positive and negative. Suggestions are welcome.
I really want to know if people are finding this software useful,
or if there is that one super-duper feature you would like to
see put into KPilot. You can mail me at pilone@slac.com.
