Arts has much potential and was release separately from KDE in the past and now it would suffer much from big, monolithic, seldom KDE releases. There are more examples (mosfet et al) for things which should (and could, that's the fact) be given to the user in less than half a year after KDE 2.0. > > - February/March 2001 - KDE2 1.1 release. ..which seems to be quite late from THAT point of view. Maybe we can release kdelibs, kdebase and/or others seperately in binary compatible shape more often? -- / / /--/ / / ANS ___________________________________________________________________________ Hans Meine Wördemannsweg 93, D-22527 Hamburg mailto:hans_meine@gmx.net
