gideon alpha 4...

[Caleb Tennis]

Hi Holger,

I like your idea, and would be willing to help, but I do have a few concerns:

1) I don't want to pester the KDE folks to build packages for us on a weekly 
basis.  If we want to do it externally, then that's another matter.

2) The main reason the latest alpha took so long to get out (and still is) is 
that we're making so many rapid advances that it's hard to put a cap on it.  
I anticipate that this isn't something that is going to be normal, especially 
once we start into a feature freeze.  My goal is to put off a feature freeze 
for as long as we can, and not any longer.  Right now we're planning on 
tentatively releasing along the same timeframe as kde 3.2, though if we can 
get there faster - that's obviously great too!

However, we definitely can benefit from someone who can keep up with the 
ChangeLogs and document them!

Caleb
