I personally think (in retrospect having seen what happened at 0.1,<br>
0.2 and 0.3) that releasing in sync with KDE has more downsides than<br>
good.<br>
<br>
Our news tends to get drowned out by the massive "KDE 4.8", when we<br>
released 0.2 it seemed we got more buzz the other 2 times. I guess<br>
there were more exciting features too, but I think this is a<br>
contributing factor. Also promo people, translation people and<br>
packagers are far busier sorting out the important main release.<br>
<br>
0.4 is set for ~April, but it's definitely something to think about<br>
when planning 0.5.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I agree. Our dot article is also intentionally delayed so that 4.8 can be on top for a while (I was informed) and media do not really pick our announcement up. The question is if we still intend to be part of KDE SC itself (ie. following SC release cycle etc). Then we'd be in that announcement anyway.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This release schedule also plays nicely with distro releases. Now they have lots of time to package us and include in the main repos (as most of them are released in April/May and October/November). Should we release after their release, we'd be available only in user repos (which is still better than nothing).</div>
