[Kde-extra-gear] kdereview/extragear procedure

[Kevin Krammer]

Hi,

Will Stephenson asked on kde-devel today how to proceed with KNetworkManager's 
move to kdereview and ultimately to extragear/network.

Unless I have looked into the wrong places, there is currently no real 
procedure how to do this correctly.

For example I have just moved one of my projects (kabcclient) to kdereview 
when I first thought it release worthy and asked on kde-core-devel, 
kde-extra-gear and kde-pim for comments.

Since there has neither been an accept nor reject reaction, I am still 
uncertain about the official project status.

Since my understanding is that KDE4 will allow even for other modules to be 
released outside the library schedule, I recommend we come up with a 
procedure for application review, inclusion and possible exclusion.

For the current situation I could imagine something like this:
- developers can move their project to kdereview when they think they are 
ready for it

- they announce the move on the extragear list and, if applicable, on the 
developer list for the main module of its kind, e.g. kde-multimedia for a 
multimedia application.

- they wait through a four week reaction period

- if there are unmet requirements the developer has to implement them until 
they are met or can opt to move directly back to playground

- once all requirements are met but not earlier than this four week RFC period 
the project can move to extragear

What do you think?

Cheers,
Kevin
