Actually, just to clarify I'm not a KDE Windows dev, but do KDE p= romo stuff and
follow the Windows development and mailing list

In answer to your question - probably not... I'm pretty new to Twitter = so I'm
just exploring the possibilities but it would make sense to have some offic= ial
feeds I think. In the meantime there's the KDE Windows RSS feed
http://windows= .kde.org/rss.php and Patrick Spendrin's blog
http://saroen= gels.blogspot.com/ which will likely be the first places for
release news (other than this list maybe). I just checked and can't fin= d
Patrick on Twitter.

I'll be (hopefully) putting a release announcement on dot.kde.org too, but
that could be a bit after the release.

Cheers,
Stu
