IMHO KDE3 should not be part of the main release, for reasons I mentioned earlier in this thread, but should be promoted in the release notes in a "Community" section thereof.
community section sound good to me. Jos, others, any objections?
Tell me if I am wrong, but all of openSUSE is community project, that's why I see no reason to separate KDE3 community project from the rest of openSUSE community project.
Yes, all of openSUSE is delivered by the community, correct. However, what is on the media has a bit of a "special" status. As discussed there are a number of us that think KDE3 should not be part of 12.1 as such. Rather we should have KDE:KDE3 as a repo in YaST under the "Community Repositories" list. Meaning adding the KDE3 repo is dead simple. However, what goes into 12.1 is in the end up to Coolo as he is the release manager.
If you place it into "community" section in the release notes, this would look like the rest of the distro is not by community, which is wrong.
You could make the same argument for the "Community Repositories" entry in YaST, thus that's a bit out in left field. If we have a "Community" section in the release notes we can highlight projects such as KDE:KDE3 that are efforts by the community or individuals within the community and that are not part of the release as such. In this section we could also talk about other projects such as the Virtualization:Cloud projects that are not part of 12.1 proper but might be interesting to people looking at openSUSE. Hope this clarifies things a bit.
