I somehow mixed kde-packager and release-team - hope this is now the correct 
list :)

Hi,

I'm thinking about a proper naming for the first official KDE4/windows release 
which should come with KDE4.1 when I'm correct.

I would propose 'KDE 4.1/windows (alpha)'. Calling it beta would suggest that 
4.2 maybe will become stable but I don't think this is possible with the 
current manpower and the short release cycle (no discussions on the release 
cycle please - this is another topic).

I won't call it beta because we've a lot of internal things to do which most of 
them aren't directly visible to the user but will affect any KDE program 
running on windows:
- the dbus-daemon uses tcp/ip which is a huge security concern. It also doesn't 
distinguish between system and session,
- the communication between kded, klauncher and others work but I think 
there're a lot of pitfalls in there where we're not yet aware of (need a wider 
testing)
- the system integration for the kcm modules isn't started - I think most of 
the modules which work on windows should not only affect KDE programs.
- minor: a lot of apps still don't have a proper icon / the icon name changed 
but nobody adjusted kde4_add_icon() macro :(
- Some shared libs are still installed into /lib instead /bin which needs an 
adjustment of the PATH variable. A normal windows user can't do this.
- The packaging process (which currently eats most of my time... :( ) needs 
some improvements to pack each application instead the whole package like it's 
done now.
