Please put your feature ideas/plans into our wiki. We have a page
dedicated specially for the more "general" tasks for 4.0 and I'd like us
to keep that page updated so we know where we currently are and so that
we can plan better.

Apart from that, you're always welcome to create wishlist and bugreports
in bugzilla to keep track of your ideas/plans on a more detailed level
than the feature plan above. At least thats what I try to do.

Obviously both the above needs us all to go through the lists every once
in a while and check what is open and should/could be addressed.
Unfortunately it seems like Matt didn't manage to enable bugzilla's
tracking-support, so we can't really assign reports to a particular
planned release :(

We've been doing blogs in the past, especially on major new stuff and
obviously we're going to have a proper release announcement - maybe even
something for the first beta, similar to KOffice. Producing a few
screenshots is no big deal for me, but I've got 0 experience with
screencasts, especially I don't have a microphone so I can't easily
produce ones with sound. Having a mute screencast is only partly useful
IMHO as you can't explain what you're doing...

Well, you can't know that - unless you dig through the archives and
manage to find some old irc logs - but we tried the "invent cool names
for stuff" and kind of failed at that. I know for publicity its nice to
have sounding names, but unless the marketing team can help us there I
think we should just stick to KDevelop + version number.
