I have to agree with the assessment above w.r.t testing Most projects have code testing in place but usability testing is something more easily done by releasing a beta, which is what KDE4 seems like currently. A considerably stable beta. It'll be a while before most kde3 based projects catch on to the new and shiny. more importantly qt4. While we could gripe as much as we want it certainly helps filing smaller , verifiable bug-reports to get the fixes / changes we want in there. That brings me to the question - how easy is that, exactly, in KDE4 ? regards, C -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
