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
