Do you plan to make independent release of Quanta or do you want to release 
it as part of e.g. KDE 2.3?

The idea around the release of KDE 2.0 was to create more independent 
releases of packages but so far that only seems to apply to KDevelop and 
KOffice. And KDevelop gets packaged as part of KDE 2.2 and KOffice depends on 
KDE 2.2. On the other hand, at the time of KDE 2.0 we recognized that you can 
hardly expect so many seperate software packages to have the same level of 
maturity at the same time, so the larger the release the less likely that the 
pace of a release matches with the needs of an individual package. That 
hasn't changed of course.

Please think about it, if you wish Quanta to be part of KDE 2.3 then the best 
time to make that wish clear is directly after the KDE 2.2 release. (That 
goes for all applications btw.)

Cheers,
Waldo
