Blueprint changed by Jonathan Thomas:

Whiteboard changed:
  * Wait and see what upstream does with the KDE tarballs
-     - May have to split binary packages, may not have to do anything at all
+     - May have to split binary packages, may not have to do anything at all
  
  * Qt 4.8 will be out in a month or two
-   - We want to ship the latest Qt, but KDE depends on 4.7...
-   - Not a huge feature release, more of a patch release
-   - Internals have changed, so regressions are still possible, but shouldn't be *too* likely.
-   - Raster is the most tested and recommended graphicssystem, we should try enabling it by default again, please test with QtWebkit as well
-       - Contact Samuel Roedal (sroedal) about raster bugs if found
-   
-   * KDE 4.7

  * Wait for Debian to upload 4.6.3 (KDE) and merge then move on to 4.7
  alpha's
  
  * KDEPIM
-   - Wait until it's released to decide-
-   - Test in PPAs like we did last time

  * GUFW not default in Ubuntu, so we don't need it in Kubuntu. (Was
  nominated under the false assumption that GUFW was default)
  
  * Touchegg
-     - Default on mobile, tablet
-     - If we have the space, put it on the CD. If not, have the option to install it

  * Backup
-     - Evaluate backup options (KBackup? Back In Time? Quintasan to test?)

  * Gluon
-     - Might need to use it as a dependency in the nearish future.
-     - Not currently needed, nor ready.
-     - We should package it so that we have it when we need it, no rush though.
-     - Quintasan will package.

+ Qt 4.7 patch review:
+  - kubuntu_12_fix_stack_protector.diff -> goes upstream <--- need to go to webkit as wekk
+  - kubuntu_15_appmenu.diff -> we want it upstream, problems with Macs ATM but Aurelien said he will be able to fix it once he get's a Mac
+  - kubuntu_16_qt-designer...something - goes upstream as well <--- sent
+  - kubuntu_17_enbale_qtwebkit_for_qtassistant.diff - keep it and propose upstream
+  - kubuntu_18_fix_qtreeview_regression.diff - WENT UPSTREAM
+ DONE - kubuntu_21_fix_phantom_cursor.diff - removed from BZR
+  - kubuntu_22_thumb2_support.diff - ASK UPSTREAM (thiago?)
+  - kubuntu_24_large_qtreeview.diff - check upstream
+ DONE - kubuntu_26_dbusconnection_pointer.diff -  WENT UPSTREAM
+  - kubuntu_29_egl_qglcontext_stubs.diff - GOES UPSTREAM <----- sent
+ DONE - kubuntu_90_webkit_htmlxml_gb_gb18030_detect.diff - WENT UPSTREAM
+ DONE - kubuntu_91_fix_qtextedit_selectall_crash.patch - WENT UPSTREAM
+ 
+ 
+ network manager 0.9
+  - need to check if it breaks kde-base-workspace integration
+  - testing needed (kubuntu ppa?/neon) Afiestas to test. 
+  - 0.9 to go into archive.
+  - if possible kdebase independant knm (if supported by upstream)
+  Package NM 0.9 for testing, testing, testing and we maybe will put it.
+  
+ Work closer with the Debian KDE team
+ - review our diff and send changes upstream
+ - package KDE 4.7 in Debian first?
+   + less duplication of work
+   + less package diff that we need to resolve later
+ - KCM Grub by default approach 2 - valid use case: select default boot os; danger: how easy is it to break shit?
+ blink
+ 
+ KCM GRUB - awaiting investigation, delegate JT -> we maybe will put on
+ CD
+ 
+ Kde Merging. 
+ Merge from debian sooner rather than later. 
+ If 4.6.3 is not uploaded soon, we will merge striaght from git. 
+ Patches to be considered for upstream merge (afiestas/apachelogger)
+ Debian packaging changes to debian (merger person)
+ 
+ Blink (Can has blink?)
+ Jussi to discuss with debian developers because no one is interested.
+ 
+ 
+ kamoso for DVD 
+  - Start process for main inclusion. (Quintasan)
