"KDE 4.2 continues to be available in the KDE:42 repository so
if you haven't switched yet, we expect you want to help make 4.3
excellent!
"The week began with a lively chat session discussing the Plasma
desktop. Andrew Stromme and Marco Martin from the Plasma dev team
paid #opensuse-kde a visit and gave the community a look at what is
coming in KDE 4.3. The improved system tray and notifications
system got everyone excited, and the channel was surprised to learn
about the expanding folders in the Folder View widget that will
make powerful desktop file management possible. Marco introduced
the ability to link Plasma Activities to virtual desktops, which
the openSUSE community thought was a great idea to make Activities
accessible and discoverable to the majority of users. Questions
were also asked about Plasmate, the planned Plasma widget creator
tool, and ways to distribute scripted plasmoids to make
user-created Plasma content as ubiquitous as browser
extensions."
