Yes, that's true. We indicated already on this list that expectations for 4.0 should not be set to high. I think we should communicate that better. I don't know how though. > Other point, it was said that the agressive 4.0 release schedule was also to > allow devs to developp and port applications for 4.x. What is the purpose > without kdevelop and win/osx port? I would love a win/osx port and the people working on that seem to do a great job as far as i can see. The point about kdevelop I dont understand. You can develop with kdevelop from kde3, non? The somewhat aggressive schedule was partly because I think we can keep the 4.0 short and do a 4.1 with new stuff relatively soon. > I propose a 25 July feature freeze for the sub-module which *really* need > it, and keep the 1june for others, like kdegames, to focus on quality > (usability, artwork...).

Since kdegames is in good shape, I guess they have time left for new features. So freezing the modules that are in good shape seems silly to me now that I think of it. gr. Toma
