I think we can just use the 1.89 release for this. It makes
no sense to have another release for artists only. Once the
1.1.2/1.2 is released we should try to do a fast release cycle
to get 1.89 out. (e.g. 2 weeks preparing libs + 2 weeks lib
freeze = 4 weeks).

A lot of people want to see koffice, a lot of people want to
use/develop with Qt2.0.

We can already start to think which areas of KDE need to be
more or less working before 1.89. I can think of:

kpanel 
kwm
konqy
koffice
kdesktop
kcontrol

It doesn't have to be perfect, but it should have some stability
and the basic functionality should be there.


Cheers,
Waldo
