Thanks for bringing it up. Trying to untangle two things here: timeframe for 4.1 and the release frequency. Why do you think April is rather short? (I do agree, although I think September is rather late ...). It also depends where we draw the "feature-but-not-a-bugfix-line". How about a 4.1 in June? I'm too very much in favour of a time-based schedule, as I wrote in an earlier email. For the release frequency, we have basically two options (at least those seem to be left after the previous discussion): - Release 6-monthly, that would align us with downstream (distros) - Release 9-monthly, that would align us with upstream (Qt at least, not sure about X, and its relevance in this context) I'm slightly leaning towards 6 months, hoping that this would give us back some traction with 'larger' distros which we seem to be losing lately. As to plasma, it's possible to ship updated applets from extragear-plasma, but I'm not sure how this would work for kdebase plasma applets. Having a configurable / movable panel before the Summer or September would be nice in any case ;-) -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9
