Hard Feature Freeze Next week

[David Edmundson]

Based on feedback (and ridiculous problems with KWallet + MSN) I'm
implementing the following freeze changes.

The hard feature freeze is pushed back a week to the 15th.
However ALL features that are going in, have to be in reviewboard by
the end of Sunday night (9th October) this gives a week to sort out
final reviews and most importantly do any 'fixes' that involve string
changes on these new features.

After this point I will rule with an iron fist and attack anyone who
abuses the freeze.

Testers please continue to report bugs, and if they're severe mark
them as blocking the 0.2 release.
Developers fix everything faster than they report stuff.

Final release is therefore also shifted back appropriately to the 11th November.
(note I am away from the 2nd to the 7th November)

Related note, if you've added a repository (or made one redundant)
please update this page:
http://community.kde.org/Real-Time_Communication_and_Collaboration/Getting_Set_Up
and this page
http://community.kde.org/Real-Time_Communication_and_Collaboration/Packaging_Guide

(I'm looking at you drdanz, nwoki, mck182 and d_ed)
