I hear some frustration ;-) But yeah, delaying to the day we do the release party (eg give the releaseparty when KDE is released) might be fun, but later... I think that would really suck for our image. Most ppl don't believe we can release in 2007, slipping by 2 weeks is bad already, but not making our release party date at all... bleh. _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
