Yes, next week. That's what we have worked towards in KDE PIM for the last 
couple of weeks.

When people start diving into KDE 4 development, I don't expect that the 3.5 
branch will get much attention anymore. At aKademy we will probably see lots 
of KDE 4 work and porting, so a feature freeze end of August might mean that 
the 3.5 branch gets not enough attention during the beta phase. That's the 
reason why in KDE PIM plan to have a bug fixing phase before aKademy.

Is this situation really that different for other modules?

So what's the thoughts of the people working on the other modules, kdelibs, 
kdebase, whatever? Is there anything important which won't be done next week, 
but will be done four or eight weeks later?
