Hi KDE developers,

this is important information about the KDE 2.0 release plan.
Please read carefully!


Current Status
==============

 3 days until the KDE 2.0 Feature Freeze

 1 weeks until KDE 1.92 will be released
 4 weeks until KDE 2.0 RC 1 will be released
 7 weeks until KDE 2.0 will be released


Milestones
==========

NOTE: Because of all the work currently done in Trysil,
the feature and message freeze will be delayed 2 days!

For now, the next important milestone is July 19th, when a
decision will be made which applications will be in the 2.0
release, and which applications will be moved to kdenonbeta
until they are fit. 

July 19th will also be the day when all messages (text strings
in the source-code) will be frozen to allow the translations
to get in sync. 

On July 20th, the features for KDE 2.0 will be frozen. After
that date, only bug fixes will be possible.


TODO
====

o Fix bugs
o implement missing features
o improve documentation and translations

o The package maintainer should send a list of packages
  to hoelzer@kde.org. The list should indicate:

  a) Packages that should go to kdenonbeta, because they
     are not fit for KDE 2.0, and will not be fit for 
     a release on the near future
  b) Packages that should be excluded from the release, but
     will return back immediately after KDE 2.0 is released.

  Please send me this list immediately!
