That would mean to wait with the merge, wouldn't it? Merging the branch into 
HEAD will not help with getting a stable client.

There are a lot of things that don't fit into HEAD, e.g. duplicated code like 
the KNotes stuff, conflicting changes like the todo editor patch I just 
commented in another mail, code not adhering to the coding conventions, 
architectural divergences like the Korganizer/KMail integration etc. There is 
also a licence/maintenance issue with the Gantt library, because it isn't 
maintained in the KDE CVS.

I think we have to resolve all these problems in the branch before it can be 
merged. Dumping this stuff into HEAD and resolving problems later isn't an 
option.

This would mean that we either have to wait until the kroupware_branch is 
released or to create a subbranch of the kroupware_branch.

What client do you want to rename, KMail?
