Howdy,

A little reminder of the KDE 4.0 milestones that are coming within the next \
month. Comments? Concerns?
-Allen


Milestone: kdelibs Hackathon Week,  15 Apr - 21 Apr
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Goals: 
 kdelibs polishing and fine-tuning. 
 Full API review of Phonon and Solid (Oslo meeting) 
->The Hackathon Week is not a week of free-for-all-fun in kdelibs.
-> It is intended for polishing, scrubbing, cleaning the API.
-> The BIC Monday rule is still in effect

Milestone: Alpha Release + kdelibs soft API Freeze, 1 May
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                
Goals: 
The kdelibs API is frozen. This means that the classes and interfaces are \
not allowed to change, except with permission of the core developers.  To \
make an API change, post a kdelibs API exception request to the \
kde-core-devel mailinglist with an explanation and the code.  If there are \
                no objections after a week, the change can be committed. 
NOTE: all affected modules must continue to compile and work as expected. 

Milestone: New Application Freeze and Usability and Accessibility Review, 8 \
                May
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                
Goals: 
All applications expected to be released with KDE 4.0 must: 
 use the new cmake buildsystem 
 compile with Qt4.3 and kdelibs 4.0. (Using Q3Support and/or kde3support is \
ok, though not desired)   have a handbook (that at least describes what the \
application does)   New applications must be committed into kdereview for \
review   Resurrected applications must be committed back into their KDE \
main module   Start Application Usability and Accessibility Review \
continuing until the start of the Beta Cycle
