Subject: KDE 3.0 Planned Features
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-core-devel&m=101569340006257

Half of our planned features are still listed as "In progress / works mos=
tly"=20
instead of "Finished" on the 3.0 Planned Features list on=20
http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.0-features.html

Can the responsible developers please take a look at this page again and =
work=20
on these areas with uttermost priority? We cannot possibly aim for a rele=
ase=20
when half of the planned features apparently are not labeled as finished.

We might also benefit from a "planned bugfixes" page, listing showstopper=
=20
bugs. Right now many developers do not know what the exact status is of t=
he=20
3.0 release and what goals there are for bugfixing in what areas. Especia=
lly=20
near a release it is very important that all developers are informed on t=
he=20
status of the KDE project, so I urge everyone to:

- keep kde-3.x-features.html as up-to-date as possible
- create a kde-3.x-showstoppers.html (and keep it up-to-date)
- update the release plan often and do not release the next RC until the
  issues on beforementioned pages are fixed

Unless there is large opposition, I will create the showstoppers page and=
 hope=20
we will populate it with the real problems that currently exist. We shoul=
d be=20
very strict about these pages, they are the only sane guideline to preven=
t=20
new features from creeping in and the only sane method to inform all=20
developers of the real status of KDE releases.
