Can/should I say this?


Since the librarie where frozen with the <a href="
http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.0-beta1.php">first beta</a>,
developers have been able to add features to their applications. Now it is
time to start polishing these features, write and translate documentation,
improve the artwork and usability and of course fix the remaining bugs. Even
though some parts of KDE like <a href="http://plasma.kde.org">Plasma</a> are
except from this feature freeze, we expect KDE not to change much before the
4.0 release.

Just a friendly reminder that the Beta2 Tagging should happen tomorrow, 29<br>&gt; \
&gt; &gt; August.<br>&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>&gt; &gt; &gt; And, NO new application \
features should be started from this point forward <br>&gt; &gt; &gt; until we open \
up for 4.1.x development. *<br>&gt; &gt;<br>&gt; &gt;<br>&gt; &gt; I&#39;m working on \
the release announcement. Should I point out the first<br>&gt; &gt; release candidate \
will be in one month, or is it likely the schedule will <br>&gt; &gt; slip (a \
little)???<br>&gt; &gt;<br>&gt; I don&#39;t think you should say \
either.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; We should have another pre-release in another month.<br>&gt; \
We have no idea yet if it will be beta3 or rc1.<br>
