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 â¬

Hi Werner,
The biggest problems with that approach are: 1.) KDE4.x / 5.x will always seem "newer" than TDE, and therefore overshadown it 2.) Closely related with 1.), TDE will always exist in KDE's shadow and never stand on its own merits.
