hello all,
I just want to add some thoughts on the version discussion that just happened
on IRC.
(I admit I'm just too slow in thinking an writing simultaneously in a foreign
language, so I could not express much in there :)
so here goes:
the outcome of the discussion, naming the next version R14 or R14.0, seems not
very attractive nor logic to me, it makes people IMHO think there have been
14 _major_ releases before.
looks like the same versionitis that firefox, chrome or others use nowadays,
in short: pretending huge changes happening every 6 months or so.
not good.
of course, there was also agreement that nothing with 4.x should be used, for
obvious reasons ;-)
same goes for 5.x, though.
date based release numbers resemble too much to *buntu, not a good idea, too,
agreed.
so why not start over with 3.6 ?
this would IMO be a clear sign for all users who still like kde 3.5.x, that
this project stands in a direct relationship to kde 3.5, but at the same
time, is _not_ just an incremental continuation like 3.5.13, but rather a
new start, well based on 3.5, but bringing new technology and features as
well,
basically different from the kde4 approach, however.
just my 0.02 €
