We have not yet decided what the version number will be or whether we will call it "Plasma Workspaces" at all. This is I think relevant in the communication as it would be rather confusing if in the end we release "Pink fluffy bunny 1.0". > KDE Applications 4.12 Januari 2014 according to the release schedule (http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.12_Release_Schedule ) it will be released on December, 18th > KDE Applications 4.13 August 2014 which would be more likely May/June if we stick to five month cycle. Note: one of the outcomes of the "shorter release cycle" BOF at Akademy was that we might re-evaluate the situation after the 4.11 release. So in external communication I would not yet settle for a date because it could be anywhere between the three months later as proposed by Alex and return to six months as it used to be.
Yes I realize we make it difficult for the marketing guys to communicate that. So maybe just "work in progress"? Cheers Martin
