are you talking about "the router's public IP address%s. That a" this? the %s?

What would I like to have fixed...

Here is what I did - I posted on a German translation forum 
http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/einsteigerfragen-fuer-remote-help-assistant
and got some nice ideas on better translations.

Just finished going though the translations again

Before the next release... I would think that testing Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu with the current release and make sure it 
works. If we are happy and have time we could include fluxbuntu, gobuntu and myth :-)

I'd like to make this the last backwards-incompatible

And then we will go to a next mayor release? like to KDE4 :-)

I like the idea moving it to ~/.remote-help-assistant/
We should do this for sure in the next mayor version

for the current version... why not simply switch, no provisions in the program to deal with the old folder (except leaving 
a note maybe)
Why? I would think that not many have used the assistant, us who work with it know it and for others we could mention it in 
the release note. I guess that the only thing what will happen is that existing identities need to be checked again.

Here I am, no I don't mind doing the release...
