Building up to the 0.7 Release

We have a few things to decide before the 0.7 beta.

Last release I put lots of promo/spoilers into the 0.6 beta
announcement in order to encourage lots of people to test. Then we
just copied it for the real announcement on the dot.

I think this worked out and plan to do the same this time. Any comments?


What are we going to do with libkpeople?

Do we advertise it as a preview or advertise it as the greatest thing
ever?, Do we encourage distros to package with it or not?

libkpeople and the nepomuk feeder are still in playground. In theory
this is a problem. Any distro that has any sort of sensible policy
should not be packaging random wares from playground in the main repo
- but many seem to do so anyway.

In general I'm now quite happy with it. I don't get the crashes - but
it definitely has some rough edges. I want to move this forward, but I
don't want to taint our stable software.

I would _really_ appreciate feedback of how well libkpeople works for
you, and your opinions on how we take this.
