Congratulations!

K3B seems like it should've been a 1.0 a long time ago. I've been using it to make CD's and DVD's for years. For that, I thank you. I appreciate your effort to make it very stable and loaded with features before deeming it version 1. Like others, I can't wait to see what you have planned for the future.

Congratulations to all the people who have been hardly working on K3b, especially Sebastian!!!

I think Louis is right, K3b 0.12* was already very stable, so K3b deserved a 1.0 release way earlier. ;)

I assume it is going to be ported (as _many_ people rely on it) to KDE4 anyway. But besides that I was wondering if the project is going to change it's name into K4b (I've always assumed the 3 is from KDE3)?. Another thing I was wondering is if K?b is going to be ported to other platforms?

Thumbs up!

First of all, a big thank you to Sebastian! What a great app K3b is.

Second (in answer to Niels):
http://wiki.kde.org/K3b
"And if you ever wondered what K3b stands for: K is obviously from KDE, 3b=bbb=burn, baby, burn!" ... so the "3" doesn't seem to be related to a specific KDE version.

IIRC K3b is an abbreviation of "KDE Burn Baby, Burn", so the "3" has nothing to do with KDE 3.

K4b

Voilà

There already is an application called K4D.

Renaming k3b to k4b would make less unique in name.

Also, there is already an application called K-3D.

However, I think that it's not such a great idea to rename K3b for renaming's sake, especially if the 3 doesn't relate to the KDE version. Makes for bad promotionability.

Sebastian, K3b 1.0 is awesome! Thanks so much for your steady work, this is what makes K3b one of the best and most important free software applications that exist. Keep on rocking with K3b and Nepomuk!

This is indeed the reason it's called k3b. I don't think there's any good reason to change it.

K3B IMHO means
- KDE Free Burner
(K three B)

A free burning app for KDE.

K4B would mean KDE For Burn.... less sexy ;-)

Three (3), free. It disn't the same, but it does rhyme. I don't know, I'm a Windows user.
