Hello, 

Judging from latest commits, KDE3 moved
swiftly from "stall, but usable" to explicitly 
unsupported.

However, there are still areas, where KDE3 
can't be replaced by newer version. 

(e.g. I maintain older pc that is mainly used
as internet browser, where I installed 
slimmed subset of KDE3, to somehow make it 
behave like users would expect. Looking
at state of KDE3 now, updating it borders
on "not worth breaking it".)

Of course I understand, that workforce
is limited, and everybody who is willing
to commit time, will spend it on their 
pet-project. 

I'm just saying, that if anyone would like 
to still maintain a sane, slim subset of 
KDE3, Project Trinity looks like good 
starting point. http://trinitydesktop.org/

KDE is-not-exactly my pet-project so
don't look at me :)

best regards, 
- Jakub Lach
