= Summary =

kde-4.1.2 status: 
-------------------------
* All packages are already imported and built for F9 and F10. 
* kde-settings in F9 will be updated and the F10 version will be bumped to 
don't overlap anymore. 

echo-icon-theme status report: 
--------------------------------------------
* The default icon theme in F10 will still be Oxygen/Fedora-KDE. 
* There will be likely not enough time to fix all the missing icons for F10. 
* A report of echo-icon-theme in KDE lists many missing icons. [2]
* A wiki page about missing icons in KDE was set up. [3]

mysql-embedded for amarok2: 
--------------------------------------------
* The next beta of amarok2 will use mysql-embedded which isn't available in 
Fedora. 
* An old RFE also requests this enhancement (#149829). [1]
* We'll need to talk to the mysql-maintainers to make it possible to ship a 
mysql-embedded package in F10. 
* In a worst-case-scenario we'll have to fall back to amarok1 in F10. 

libkipi framework: kdegraphics, Digikam in F10: 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
* The respins of kdegraphics-4.1.2 removed the updated libkipi framework which 
is needed by the latest Digikam beta. 
* If this won't be reverted upstream we'll have to use the older beta version 
of digikam or or patch in the libkipi framework from kdegraphics' trunk. 

kpackagekit status: 
-----------------------------
*kpackagekit-0.1 was released on 29 Sep 2008 and should now provide the same 
functionality as gnome-packagekit. [4]
* kpackagekit will be added to kde-desktop group in comps as default to get 
some testing. 
* At this time there were no conclusion about replacing gnome-packagekit also 
on the live media. 
* Packages for F9 could be provided when PackageKit-0.3 is available as an 
update. 

knetworkmanager status: 
------------------------------------
* The latest svn version of knetworkmanager in Rawhide is now able to build 
and is at least basically working. 
* Though, it won't be installed by default and @kde-desktop will still use 
Networkmanager-gnome as default 
* But the release notes for F10 will mention the existence of knetworkmanager 
as a technology preview. 

F-10/kde artwork, theme: 
-------------------------------------
* We'll need at least a KDM theme and a KSplash for the Artwork of Fedora 10. 
* KushalDas is working on a KDM theme based on SamueleStorari's mockup. 
* SamueleStorari will also provide a mockup for KSplash.
