Hmm... not quite. KOffice and KDevelop have their own release cycles and 
version numbers. Even if they choose to release at the same time KDE is 
released. This is what happens now with aRts: KDE 3.2 had aRts 1.2.

Or am I mistaken?

I wouldn't call that a module since /trunk/extragear by itself isn't 
compilable. That is, no Makefile.cvs (or Makefile.svn) in it. 

Each app by itself is compilable, though, complete with Makefile.cvs and 
admin/ subdirs. That would mean that if you want amarok & k3b, you can't 
simply compile kdeextragears-1. You'll have to compile amarok, then k3b.

Maybe our new build system won't need admin/. And maybe it'll be powerful 
enough so that making /trunk/extragear "compilable" is just a matter of 
adding a Makefile-equivalent.

The important thing here is that each tarball-to-be-released has a 
directory of its own -- regardless where it actually is -- and is 
compilable. That is, kdelibs is released as kdelibs-4.0.0.tar.gz, 
so /trunk/KDE/kdelibs is compilable; amarok-1.3.0.tar.gz is released, 
then /trunk/extragears/amarok is compilable, as is /branches/amarok/1.3.0 
and so forth.

The difference between my first and second proposals is just a matter of 
organisation: main KDE, extra gears (release-quality apps, not part of 
the main KDE release), apps nearing release quality, apps in development 
and blackhole. 

The same organisation could be applied to branches and tags as well, but 
IMO that's already overkill. Besides, apps may move from playground to 
review, then to extragears or KDE.
