Hi,

Just a small comment if I may:

You give a roughly - a week (29/1 - 5/2) for people to test the Beta 2..

I'm affraid thats way too small period, and you won't have that many testsers as
you had with the 2.0 release version..

I suggest to expand this week to a month, so lots of people can report bugs.

One more thing David - didn't you decide that once you have a final stable
version of KDE 2.1 - it will be called "KDE 2.2"?

Thanks,
Hetz
