Okay, here is what I've found:
- There is a serious issue with tagging, it looks pretty much broken (see 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307926)
- What is that "Microblog" application we're talking about in the 
announcement? I can't find anything related to Microblogging...
- The "Screen" module of the Settings app seems to have no effect at all. No 
matter how I set "Lock Screen" or "Sleep" is completely ignored. If I reduce 
the brightness, it is reset to 100% when I go to the settings the next time.
Unless we can make the other settings actually work, I'd strongly suggest 
removing them as currently they or just broken.
- "Add Ons" is still called "Store" in the Launcher. I know it's not serious 
from a functionality POV, but still, please change it to "Add Ons". It's 
something people will want to show to everyone when demoing, so it makes us 
look pretty bad if it's named inconsistently

Other than that, I could not find any serious problems so far...
