The keymessages should be clear, however (three of them and they need to be=

very clear). I'm not sure if a plasma write-up is really what should go int=
o=20
the release notes. Much more a "this works, this is what we're fixing now" =
is=20
important. Remember, the beta release is not so much about what's going on,=
=20
but it's a software release.

Not necessarily. We need the status snapshotted that's there when tagged,=20
otherwise we'll show things that are not in the beta release.

A screencast of the whole desktop right now would make sense, though. But=20
frankly, for a beta, the workspace looks quite incomplete still. kicker is=

still in, no panel, task switching by plasma, you cannot even change the=20
wallpaper or other aspects. I know the plasmoids are cool, and I know that=

things are being worked on at a tremendous pace, but calling the desktop=20
shell 'beta' at this point sends the wrong signal. Instead we need to make=

very clear that the main focus is on getting this thing complete (and then=

bugfixed). Plasma is not what we should focus on in the release notes, we=20
should rather take a couple of applications that are further down the road =

think oKular, dolphin or marble. Those really shine.

Also, try to get a statement from the PIM peeps (not that kdepim does compi=

right now), but they've caught up quite a bit lately.

KOffice will be releasing their second Alpha at the same time, I think. Not=

sure if we should combine announcements, but it's worth considering. (Ingwa=

knows this best.)
