You have my support. And thanks for all your efforts, much appreciated!

That sounds nice, but is probably hardly doable. We definitely need more th=
an=20
6 months including the release for KDE 4 to develop. Just have a look at th=
e=20
time that was needed to get KDE 3.0 done, from alpha1 to release were 6=20
months. I'd expect KDE 4.0 to be more work.

Well, regarding where to put the money: if we only start to port KDE 4 in=20
November/December I will not be able to help at all. From October onwards I=
=20
will most likely be writing my Diploma Thesis. And in case you plan to free=
ze=20
KDE 4 in mid-2006 I will not have coded anything for it. Sure, the Qt4 dela=
y=20
is nothing we can avoid, but I'd love to see the start of the port in June=
=20
the very latest.

Which also means that kdelibs needs to be branched for the Qt4 port since K=
DE=20
3.5 development will happen concurrently.

Cheers,
