Does it really make sense to spend much time on kde3 at this point? Copying the stuff that is already on solaris.kde.org is ok, but there probably should not be much more. I think it makes more sense to collaborate as much as possible with the main kde developers on making kde4 as portable as possible. And since (except for the X11 specific parts) they already plan to have it compatible with macosx and windows, it means they clearly don't consider linux as the only platform worth developing for. The opensolaris project would be like the jds project for gnome, just the distribution part, with (almost) all patches sent upstream. > 2.

It is large when you start it, but then starting konqueror, koffice, etc, does not add much, whereas with a light xfce, after starting firefox, thunderbird and openoffice, you are already using more space than kde. > 6.
