This our current state now.

More or less what we're doing now.

Yeah, we should do that.

I'm sorry, but you haven't said anything new.

The conversion in step #4 takes about a week to process, during which time 
both the CVS and SVN repositories are locked. That's no commits, 
anywhere.

As for the time for the move, here's some thoughts:

before 3.4: madness
just after 3.4: not a good idea (bug report flow)
I'd recommend we do it one or two weeks after KDE 3.4.1 is released. That 
should be in 7-10 weeks from now, depending on the real release date for 
KDE 3.4.
