Yes, that's also what I was thinking. I didn't even know that those two pages existed until I stumbled upon them by googling "extragear release schedule"; Google even tells you that the next release of K3b is going to be on "1 March 2010" right in the search results. :/
Personally, I struggle to find a usecase these pages would be helpful for. The sites itself identify say that they're for "users and contributers" but I doubt many users would track release dates on techbase. And contributers will have to get in touch with the packages maintainers anyway as they'll usually need to know more than a row in a table will be able to tell them. Albert: I don't think the pages are abandoned because developers are shying away from the extra work but rather because they are simply superfluous. > There is not a single link on techbase to that page ( > http://techbase.kde.org/Special:WhatLinksHere/Schedules/Extragear). That > is weird because the main schedule page most definitely links to both pages: http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules Best regards, Peter
