I like the idea. I'm not familiar with UML since it came after I
finished my study :) But I think it's easy to learn. The problem is a
UML programm. I downloaded KUML lately and could not draw any diagrams
in there (compiled for KDE1). Maybe I do something wrong? There is also
Argo UML which is in Java, slow and only supports Java code
generation. And then there is Together which is available as a
whiteboard version but also written in Java which is still pretty slow
on my machine. If you get kuml to work properly or have another prog at
hand I would be glad if we could use something like it.

Yes, and you're welcome to help. Anyway you should not spent to much
time with the current code since we will totally restructure the design.
