This page intends to help Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) understanding the background of the KDE Roadmap.

KDE development

The current KDE development concentrates on KDE 4, which will be a major release. It will include several new features as well as new APIs and frameworks and therefore will break the API compatibility. However, at the same time there are several efforts in the community making porting apps to KDE 4 quite easy.

The Roadmap of KDE 4 is divided into the Release Schedule and the Feature Plan.

Sub-projects

Some KDE sub-projects have their own roadmaps:

  • Calligra - a free, integrated office suite for KDE
