Re: will all bugs be fixed for the 3.1 release ?

It's a constant cycle. Developers fix bugs. Users report them. All of the bugs will never be closed unless users stop reporting them for a few months (which would be bad).

It's for all practical purposes impossible to not have open bugs with a huge user base and a public code repository. What if 20 bugs are reported on the day of the release, wait? Until when? What if during that time new bugs are introduced into CVS and reported? What then?

The release schedule is the only way around this. We try to go in phases: add features several months before the release and try to fix things in the months before the release.

Your previous statments seem to indicate that you're a programmer; start digging through the (KDE) bugs database and fixing things then! If you want to see KDE released with as few bugs as possible, then start helping!

Bugs don't get magically fixed. They take time to sort through and fix.

And just in case you're not satified, don't worry we won't don't expect you to pay a penny for it. ;-)
