If we have a well-tested KDE3 live CD at the time of release for 11.1,
this might be a good way to go.
I think that Michael and the KDE team have found a reasonable and
healthy compromise for the KDE transition and 11.1. We have a lot of
groups to think of here -- the upstream developers who have their
project represented in openSUSE, the developers who have to integrate
the projects into openSUSE, and the users who have strong feelings one
way or the other about which versions of software they're going to be
asked to use. It's impossible to perfectly satisfy everyone involved,
but I think we've reached a really good solution for 11.1.
Best,

What to do?
We'll try to put again both KDEs on the media. I'm using "try" as we're
facing
space issues but I'm confident that we solve them in a manner acceptable for
all. We probably need to reduce the KDE3 dekstop to accomplish that. On the
space issue cthiel is our man going forward. He's travelling and will be back
in the office next week and can then tell us what's to be done to get KDE3 in
a usable way on the media.
Why not do 2 DVDs? One that is KDE3 centered and one that is KDE4
centered? Give the users the choice at the download time. State what
the differences are:

As for the liveCDs, we had a community built version for 11.0. Let's
get together and get one together for 11.1 that will either be HOSTED
on the opensuse mirrors, or at least LINKED to the download site.
