      "content_html": "<p>The great thing about open source is that… it’s open.</p>\n\n<p>When I was browsing the internet just now, I dropped in on <a href=\"http://dot.kde.org/\">KDE Dot News</a>. In the rightside column, there is a feed of\nnew KDE software from <a href=\"http://www.kde-apps.org/\">KDE-apps.org</a>. A new version of my favoriate music player,\n<a href=\"http://amarok.kde.org/\">amarok</a>, lured me to the KDE-apps website, where I saw <a href=\"http://rkward.sf.net/\">rkward</a> is latest announcement. The funny\nname, and the categorization as scientific, triggered some interest on my side, and it turned out to be a graphical frontend to my favorite statistics program,\n<a href=\"http://www.r-project.org/\">R</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Ok, they had a <a href=\"http://www.debian.org/\">Debian</a> package, and the debian/ build dir in the tar.gz so I downloaded it and started making a\n<a href=\"http://www.woc.science.ru.nl/devel/egonw/rkward_0.3.4_i386.deb\">Kubuntu 5.10 package</a>. While doing this I saw some notice about the R syntax highlighting\nused, which conflicts with the older version in the Kate packages.</p>\n\n<p>Then I realized that a long time ago, I wrote such syntax highlighting for Kate, so my attention was lured again. And, indeed, they use my syntax highlighting,\nthough <a href=\"http://www.uni-kiel.de/agrarpol/ahenningsen/index-e.html\">extended later</a> (somewhere down the page).</p>\n\n<p>And this makes me happy. The syntax highlighting was useful to me in the past, but apparently to a lot of other people too. And because I released it\nas GPL, back then, it now appears in rkward! Yes, a really like open source :)</p>",
