And we're (The MWG) are happy to work on that. We would need the following 
information, however:

- How far are the API's of Phonon, Plasma, Solid?
- Where's the documentation for various parts (Phonon, Plasma, Solid, Dbus, 
  CMake, ...)?
- Where's the docs "Getting started with KDE4 development"?
- What does it do well already?
- What exciting stuff is in there?
- IRC and other support channels dedicated to KDE4 development?

The overall tone of the announcement of this $whatever will be "Far from 
usable, unstable, not what KDE4 will look like, BUT exciting release for 
developers to play with the new technology". It's not only a good way to tell 
developers to start porting their apps NOW, but it would be a good thing to 
attract new people to contribute to the project. So we need everything that's 
interesting for the developers covered in the announcement.

While we will be clear about the expectations from this snapshot, we should 
still focus on the positive aspects, and I think there are quite a few.

Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation 
that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing 
falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any 
refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war 
is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process 
of grotesque self-deception. - Mark Twain
