Re: A HUGE job indeed.

While I don't disagree with you when you say that the current projected KDE 4.0 may be a little more than we can chew off, I do know that unless you aim high, you must fall short of the requirements..

While I haven't got a CS MA (I'm a linguist, comparative linguistics of the Sino-Tibetan languages of Nepal -- eastern Nepal -- to be precise), I've got about a decade of experience in the software industry. Aim high, damn the certifications and forget about cmm, that's the only way to produce something worthwile. Ours is a craft, not a profession.

And make sure your daily build can be released as-is.

> KDE 4.0 may be a little more than we can chew off,

That is really my only point. that we should be careful that we don't:

'bite off more than we can chew'.

The history of software projects is littered with the remains of projects that did that. Yes, you are correct that we should aim high, but we need to be realistic regarding what we can accomplish for the first release of KDE-4.
