I propose that a branch branches/unstable3 should be created to keep all KDE3 stuff that is currently in trunk. (The idea includes that there will be a branches/stable3 that will replacebranches/stable when it would be needed for KDE4.)
I propose the following plan in 4 phases:
- Create the branch branches/unstable3
- Copy trunk/l10n to branches/unstable3/l10n
- Create an unstable KDE3 in branches/unstable3/KDE (copied from branches/stable/KDE )
- Moving the rest of the KDE3 stuff out of trunk.
- phase 1 within a few hours after the decision
- phase 2 within a few days
- phase 3 within a few weeks
- phase 4 within a few months
The branches/unstable3/KDE could be the start of a KDE 3.6 (after KDE4), if such a project would become concrete somehow. (If not, it would not be difficult to delete it when it would really evident that there would not be any KDE 3.6.)
