Yes, this is how I feel as well.  I would like to port my app to 2.0, 
and I just now got up the nerve to download and compile everything
with cvsup ;-)  I can't speak to whether an alpha release by date xxx
is doable, but I tend to agree that it would attract interest from non-core
developers.

Also, don't forget that Linux is growing rapidly still and gains new C++
programmers as users every day.  Some of these people might like
to code for KDE 2.0, but it's not on their radar yet...maybe a developer's
release gets their attention...maybe it could come with a Kom/Open Parts
tutorial, too ;-)
