About the Phonon issue I found a strange thing: PMC video player doesn't work, but the mediaplayer example given with QtCreator works fine. It could be a stupid thing, but it could be also a starting point to find out differences between the two programs.

(aka "copy the netbook pattern") 4.6 is a good target but we *absolutely* need to sort out the Phonon issue. Personally I cannot manage to play videos at all, and I'm a developer.. think about users. I know i might have some config issues, but i don't think Avatar-like people in videos are over as of the current Phonon version. Regarding the other stuff we now have a pretty much working integration with nepomuk + i'm doing huge API review (just committed one). Christopher is doing pretty great job with QML while Christophe is giving great help polishing. I'm hoping in Hayri to get the working JS dataengines soon. Stated this i think that at least a tech preview can be released soon. Regarding the release schedule, instead, i cannot guarantee i can follow KDE SC release schedule in general due to university ( :/ ) and therefore I was thinking about extragear. If, instead, we reach a good developers base I think we have more chances to release alongside with KDE SC. Just my 2 cc. Cheers :) -- Aaron J.
