For KDE my priority is that I have a backlog of KMail bug reports and 
some (happily non-critical) KMail issues for 3.5 that I would like to 
look into. Just keeping up with the KDE mailing lists is time 
consuming and currently my non KDE work is my focus and that is 
taking up the bulk of my time.

Regarding KDE4 my interest is almost solely in porting code to (not 
just compile but) run against Qt4 (and the KDE4 libraries). That's 
what I'm doing in my non KDE work so at least I'm getting lots of 
practice.

Regarding the roadmap I don't have much to say other than that I think 
it's sensible to consider it a tentative road map that is subject to 
change without notice.

BTW: I'm taking leave tomorrow and probably won't have access to the 
net for a week.

Don Sanders.
