Summary
Preparations for KDE4:Initial Builds:
 * The KDE4 Development Platform was updated to 3.96.0
 * SebastianVahl has worked on KDE 4 full desktop packages (KDE 4 as default and kdebase-workspace packaged). This packages doesn't exist in rawhide, yet.
 * New kdeartwork-icons contains crystalsvg-icon-theme. We'll need to verify if it's complete and usuable for KDE3 applications as a fallback. Otherwise we'll need to ship the KDE3 version instead.

Preparations of kdelibs3, kdebase3:
 * Initial version of non-conflicting kdelibs3 is done, version for kdebase3 will be prepared.
 * both versions needs to be re-checked if removed files still really conflict.

Needed but not yet included BuildRequires:
 * libzip (dependency of kdeutils) will be submitted for review
 * decibel (optional dependency for kdenetwork) isn't packaged yet
 * Tapioca-Qt (for decibel) isn't packaged yet
 * tpctl (optional dependency of kdeutils) isn't packaged yet

Planning of inclusion in Rawhide:
 * kdebase-workspace as a new package needs to be reviewed
 * the other packages won't need a formal review
 * kdelibs(4), kdebase(4), kdebase-runtime, kdebase-workspace and kdelibs3, kdebase3 needs to be updated in rawhide in a short timeframe
 * Dec 1-7 was choosen as a window of the inclusion in rawhide
 * We'll need to send out a notice to the mailing lists that KDE may be unstable
 * package maintainers also needs to be informed about the changed build requires
 * RexDieter will prepare this announcements
