KDE on KDE 4.0 (Groklaw)KDE on KDE 4.0 (Groklaw)Posted Jul 13, 2008 18:18 UTC (Sun) by sebas (subscriber, #51660)In reply to: KDE on KDE 4.0 (Groklaw) by rsidd Parent article: KDE on KDE 4.0 (Groklaw)
As we said in the article, it was a basic finished desktop, but not for everyone. I, for example did use KDE 4.0 for all my daily work. That makes it at least suitable for some (which is what we claimed). By the way, there is no promise to make KDE 4 the same as 3.5, we'll make it better, whatever that means, but certainly different. You're welcome to hack on your pet feature though. We're hiring ;-)

KDE on KDE 4.0 (Groklaw) Posted Jul 14, 2008 6:31 UTC (Mon) by Cato (subscriber, #7643) [Link] Since it was "not for everyone", why wasn't it labelled as a Beta, Technology Preview, or similar? I use KDE as my desktop environment, and tried KDE 4.0 very soon after release via Live CD, without realising quite how incomplete it was. As a result, I wrote a number of comments on the feedback Wiki page saying how much work should have been done before it was released as plain "4.0" - this episode has not improved my confidence in the KDE project, to say the least. It would really help matters if the KDE developers just admitted they made a big mistake on the labelling of this release - the content was fine but it was a technology preview not a finished, usable release.
