Re: [aKregator-devel] I want to contribute to Akregator.

[Nadav Vinik <nadavvin@gm...>]

Hello

Unfortunately, I can't do what I asked.

I don't have many time, and I stop using in RSS redears (except
Google) since they take me big part from my time, so I don't have the
enthusiasm and motivate to do it more.

Sorry for that

Nadav
