Thanks for the mail, Roland.  Currently, Gideon is very stable, but there are 
some major bugs that still need to be squashed before we deem things better 
than alpha.  

The current goal is to release Gideon final along side KDE 3.2, though it 
*should* still compile with KDE3.1 and >KDE 3.0.3.  I imagine a feature 
freeze would probably happen at the same time it does for KDE 3.2.  Right now 
most of the developers, it seems, are less concerned with new features and 
more concerned with making the parts work right.  But new features do creep 
in, and they usually turn out to be worthwhile! :)  There have been a lot of 
developments lately in regards to appwizard templates, and I see more coming.  

We'd love to have you demonstrate Gideon.  I would venture to say that a CVS 
head checkout would get you a great version to show.  We've added some major 
improvements since the Alpha 3 release - including a complete redesign of the 
class parser.

Please let us know if we can assist you with questions before your 
demonstration.

Caleb
