A HUGE job indeed.
by manyoso on Thursday 11/Aug/2005, @05:13

Also, people need to realize that even the status of KDE4 since the article was written is still in huge flux. The kdelibs API is going to be changing and when that happens apps will be broken until they've been updated to reflect the new API.

This is a tremendous and complicated effort. It'll take time and patience on the part of library developers, application developers, third party developers, documenters, translaters, artists, and of course... our users. Stick with us though, we have every reason to believe it is going to be marvelous when it is done. :)

Yes indeed, it is a HUGE job.

I can't help but wonder if this is the wisest course of action. That is, a professional software developer would advise against the plan. We are doing several things at once and this is not wise. If things work out correctly, we will probably have a great product, but if they don't, we could wind up with a large mess on our hands.

A more conservative road map would be to just do the port and release it as 4.0 and THEN start on radical changes for 4.1.

IAC, with the current plan, I expect to see delays so we should plan on a 3.6 release.
