I am sure there was a beta for kde 3.9.95 iirc in 11.0 but it might have been 11.1, but anyway we are heading more and more like ubuntu all the time with version numbers reflecting the year if we don't change to 12 before 2012.. I don't really care what number we use but I thought it had to be inline with the release of enterprise 12 (which is why we went for 11.4 this time not 12 already as in theory and based on previous cycles, 10.0 - 10.3 and 9.0 - 9.3 we should be moving to 12.1 by now). I think we have more important thinks to do like promote openSUSE to the masses based on 11.4.. 11.4 is just about to go live (netcd is already live based on rc2 as the repositories are live already for 11.4). How can we promote openSUSE as a user friendly, quality operating system, which is ready for users to dump xp or vista and switch to. I think that the retail pack whilst giving money back to the community, and giving people an instruction manual plus technical support is also good because if they haven't used it before then it gives them a head start. But, just the packaging, the instruction manual and the support is still not enough to convince people, what else can we do to bring people into the community because I don't think even giving the software away for free works, because if it was we would be inundated with newbies already.

I think will be best to call the next one 12.0. Gnome 3 will be out. That's a major change. For developement and in-house we can call 11.5, but I think it really would be best to call it 12.0. But that's my 2 cents.
I´m really contradictory in this way. For 12.0 I have a few (maybe) great and innovative ideas, which aren´t so stable as necessary, but 12.0 looks so new and innovative, whereas 11.5 looks like a consistant way to develop a *stable* and *well tested* operating system.
Your idea, let it call 11.5 during the development cycle looks great, but when theirs the first Milestone we have to decide.....
And yes, GNOME3 is a major change. But I bet you, that their are some people into the KDE-resort who screams that their wasn´t something for KDE4 (As I remebered right, the first openSUSE with KDE4 *stable support* was 11.1, wasn´t it?)
so far
