Hello KDE-devel,
4.14 final release is on August 20th. We want to get the word out
as usual with an announcement and a story on the Dot. The work
that you do is the foundation for the KDE Community. Please help
us support you.
We usually feature new and improved stuff. The Promo team needs
content in order to do that with the August 20th release. There is
not much information on techbase
(https://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.14_Feature_Plan) and the
latest commit-digest.org issue was published on May 18th.
Here[1] is the bugzilla list of features/bugs that mention "Fixed in
4.14". Definitely mention https://bugs.kde.org/63780 :)
But we should not be ashamed if the 4.14 release announcement does not
mention lots of "new and improved stuff". Just explain that many
developers already focus on the Next Experience, and many are busy
porting to Qt5+KF5. The 4.14 version bump is mostly needed by our
workflow (e.g. translations), and people will appreciate that this
release offers a stable experience instead of new and less-proven
stuff. For those, who are always after the latest and greatest, we
already offer an initial release of the Plasma 5 Workspace.

Thank you, Christoph
This is helpful.
The announcement and Dot story (actually all release announcements) are
intended to provide information about development activities. It's not
appropriate to feature only "new and improved stuff"...my error.
KDE Development is the foundation of the Community. Directly or
indirectly, it's what we do.
To all developers...
If you've been working on something and you want to get the word out
about it, please email these lists or add to
