Half of our planned features are still listed as "In progress / works mostly" 
instead of "Finished" on the 3.0 Planned Features list on 
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 
on these areas with uttermost priority? We cannot possibly aim for a release 
when half of the planned features apparently are not labeled as finished.

We might also benefit from a "planned bugfixes" page, listing showstopper 
bugs. Right now many developers do not know what the exact status is of the 
3.0 release and what goals there are for bugfixing in what areas. Especially 
near a release it is very important that all developers are informed on the 
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 
we will populate it with the real problems that currently exist. We should be 
very strict about these pages, they are the only sane guideline to prevent 
new features from creeping in and the only sane method to inform all 
developers of the real status of KDE releases.
