Hi,

> A fork can no longer be prevented.

Sorry, forking is not an option.

Forking will split up the development team even more (and there are few e=
nough=20
anyways). It will lead to more code duplication and finally we'll have tw=
o=20
half-finished versions. Not to mention web-sites and all the other stuff.

We did a major step forward by integrating Gideon parts into KDevelop2 an=
d=20
this was a step in the right direction.

Now that we can use Gideon parts in KDevelop2 I suggest calling them "KDe=
velop=20
parts" since this is what they are. PARTS of KDevelop. Code for an IDE th=
at=20
kicks ass. Code that belongs into the MAIN branch.

Whether we choose KDevelop2 or Gideon as main IDE is not that important, =
I=20
don't care about different branches or maybe even move Gideon core away, =
but=20
the modular design has to survive.

I suggest that we stick to the release plan made by Falk:
- try to get KDE_2_2_BRANCH as stable as possible=20
- hack support for KDevelop parts into KDEVELOP_2_BRANCH.

After that we can decide again what will be the new "official" KDevelop c=
ore.

Best regards,
Harry
