Actually, that is the plan. However, there will probably need to be more community involvement to keep that up to date. I don't remember who said it, but it was an official statement IIRC.
As for making KDE4 as good as KDE3, well, therein lies the rub. If all we are going to do is make it as good as KDE3, then what was the point? Other than all the new stuff, is KDE4 really that much better than KDE3? Or will it be? From what I have seen, it's not, and as to whether it will be, IMO it's just another case of re-inventing the wheel. Also, I'm a heavy user of KOffice, and till that's ported, I'm better off just using KDE3 for now. Openoffice is too complex and resource intensive, and KOffice was supporting ODF before openoffice anyway.
Thanks for that input, Larry. Like me and many others you need to stick with KDE because it supports the apps that you use. That is quite the reason that KDE has not abandoned the project. I only hope that Suse realizes this before forcing us into something that is not yet ready to replace it. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü
