Hi listmates,

while the most of us are happy to get KDE4.3 now around the corner, I hope 
you all are encouraged and happy as my self to just jump right into the next 
cycle and do what we can do best : MAKE KDE THE NUMBER ONE.

Although I know that most of you may think there is nothing to achieve other 
than fixing bugs and adding featrues after this block rocking release I still 
hope you understand that for a new kid like me there is allways some more 
to do. (and of course some of us dont want to loose their fundings right? ;) )


Any way one of the most important things next to testing and triaging bugs 
is making KDE more selfexplanatory and easy to understand for new users. 
I just recently had a rather unpleasent suprise of  usabillity issues,  seeing  
my mother searching nervously around in an itemgrid for the "place where 
my usb key is" though she knew that it was called INTENSO and mounted to 
the system.
She was simply not able to look over the item grid with the /tmp/ folder 
open. and see that on left hand it was there ,written in in big bold letters.

But that isnt the real reason Im writing this...

Im writing this becasue I beleive now that the stringfreeze isnt on th trunk 
anymore we could  do more of the icon/usability tests that Nuno and crew 
made for us. I'd say 2 months a new one would be enough or maybe each 
month...?

Anyway great release by great people !

Sincerely 

Andreas Marschke.
