[Kde-games-devel] Christmas theme for ktuberling...

[Famille Brisset]

Right, I thought I'd get an answer directly on my e-mail and didn't 
think about the online list archives (I'm not subscribed to the list 
because it is too much traffic for my mailbox) so that I didn't see all 
the discussion going on :-( Thanks for forwarding the link to the thread !
I'm aware of release issues, and will just follow the guidelines. All I 
can say is that I'm really sad if it can't go in for 4.0 since this 
theme really fits with winter/Christmas time ! If I understand the 
problem right, the blocking issue is string translations, which in this 
case amounts to exactly *one* string: "Christmas". So my suggestions (in 
decreasing order of preference) would be:
1) commit it after translating the string to the most common languages 
(list of locales taken e.g. from translations available for other 
themes). Considering the word I need to translate, it should be easy to 
find the appropriate translations !
2) add it to GetHotNewStuff, though I'm not sure ktuberling supports it 
(can't test right now, I've messed up my KDE4 install !)
3) put it on kde-look.org

Waiting for your feedback,

Nicolas
