Even if we release this as a "beta" (basket-1.9 or whatever), I'd prefer to 
have some time to put our best foot forward.  Even if it's just a few weeks, 
it would be nice to have a little time to prepare.  Coming up with a specific 
deadline would help ensure that we really do get something out the door, 
though (and it would greatly increase my motivation to get bugs fixed...)

I have to agree.  But isn't it true that extragear apps are not tied to the 
KDE release cycle?  I may be wrong, but I don't think freezes apply to 
extragear.

The extragear web page says:

"All applications in the extragear modules can be released independently by 
their own maintainers or in the KDE release cycle in a special per-category 
tarball made by Extragear's current maintainer. The current proposition is 
have at least one package per-category which compiles against current KDE 
release and have the last stable or bugfix branch releases defined by apps 
maintainers."

At any rate, we may not want to go this route at all.  But if we do, extragear 
looks nice.  The advantage of being part of extragear is that we would have a 
lot more visibility to the KDE community.  Let's try to get a release out the 
door, get some more features implemented, and see where we want to go from 
there.

I think Matt is right that we'd agreed to move back to bugs.kde.org.  However, 
the mantis is still online, which could confuse users.  We need to either get 
Lynoure to take it down or make it very clear that users are supposed to send 
bugs to the other site.
