if we had someone who was dedicated enough to do interim releases, i think 
it'd be pretty cool to do more frequent releases from the feature branch of 
kdeplasma-addons. they are small components which are pretty easily tested; 
one release per month would be fine for kdeplasma-addons imho (though rather 
disastrous for things in kdebase :). we'd still want to do releases with the 
main SC, though, and that would mean branching kdeplasma-addons off for new 
feature work when the SC strats going into the various freeze states. sounds 
like something that would be far less painful to do with git than svn, and 
lacking someone who would do the releases on a regular basis it's all a moot 
point anyways.

i'd still like to see a "Plasma Approved" collection of widgets and a 
"others". in fact, i'd move some of the items from kdeplasma-addons to 
"others". we used to have an "others" in extragear until the BIC of libplasma 
made some packagers go nuts. ;)

so, to sum, in a nice world:

* kdeplasma-addons and extragear/plasma would have a fast release cycle based 
around a freeze-less branch that feeds down into branches with freezes for 
release purposes

* some items in kdeplasma-addons would move into extragear

* kdeplasma-addons would consist of widgets that meet Plasma's desired quality 
and design standards, extrager would be more "wild west"

* we'd have a release dude(tte) who would produce releases and manage the 
release branches

we're missing git and the release person, so it's moot at this point.
