  1. Excited about KDE 3.4 by green+pizza · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I'm looking forward to giving 3.4 a try. Why? Because on my modest hardware it seems like Qt has gotten faster over the past 2 years while GTK2 has gotten slower.

  2. KDE 4.0... by Jameth · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'm actually most excited because this means that, in not too long, people will start really working on KDE 4.0. That's the release I want. 3.4 is a finalization of the 3's, really. It's got some nice cleanup of what's there and will run a little better, but almost all the features that were ever going into the 3's are already there.

    But 4.0...oh, I can hardly wait...

  3. Masive i18n by Forge · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Notice how the translations are larger than everything else combined ?

    That I partially reflects the share number of languages available. It also shows how modular KDE's design is. I.e. You can strip out everything language dependent into a separate package without breaking the rest. (Yes, it compiles in English without the i18n package).
