2) We need to look at releasing a 3.3 release prior to KDE 3.3. This means we need to determine the feature set we consider worth a full release and the date as well as supplemental issues like if we branch CVS to keep it clean and how long we test. My inclination is some time between April and August.
Uh... I'm confused. If Quanta and assoc. aren't being released with KDE, then shouldn't it be in kdenonbeta or extragear? Not to mention translations will be kinda messy.
Somewhat I agree. I think Eric means more of a BE release, but which is more throughoutly tested and planned, not just that we say: OK, the today's CVS is good enough, let's make a release of it. And:
1. kdenonbeta: is for alpha state/unmaintained applications. Quanta does not fall here. 2. kdeextragear: might be good, but well, it has some drawbacks: - less publicity - not picked up by default by the distros (well, yes, in case of Qunata itself, it's not a problem at least since 2.0pr2). - we can't act like a real module, e.g include new applications.
No, the decision was that Quanta should be part of KDE, which means we also have to follow some rules, like the deadlines, freezes, etc. But this doesn't mean we can't release separately (we already did). The only problem is translations. The mid-time releases will be English only, and we have to live with it. We can't force translators to work on Quanta now. Even the extragear apps can't do it. They are also at the mercy of translators, while if we stay inside KDE, we will have Quanta translated (sooner or later) by all teams, as they want after all a fully translated KDE.
So I say, releasing more often than KDE may be a good thing, but after all those will be English only releases, and better label them BE.
