Two minutes or so didn't reveal anything, but three minutes suggests
some minor changes for the dot announce!
I would change the 2nd, 3rd & 4th sentences of paragraph 2 to;

"Now it is time to start polishing these features, <to> write and
translate documentation and <to> improve the artwork and usability.
Bigger changes in the sourcecode will now have to wait for KDE 4.1< .
> KDE 4.0 is feature-frozen now and going into bugfixing mode. Yet
some KDE components like Plasma are exempt from this freeze, so in
some areas KDE will still see major improvements."
(In your 2nd sentence the verbs have been restored, I think your 3rd
sentence should actually be 2. In your 4th, the extraneous apostrophe
and comma are removed from 'areas'.)

I'll move on to the info page and see if I have further suggestions!
Thanks for the good work.
