KDE "In this weeks' edition of the Road to KDE 4, we'll take a look at the up and coming KWord 2.0 as part of the KOffice project. KWord 1.6.1 is already a powerful KDE-integrated word processor, but with KDE 4 technologies, KWord 2.0 promises to be among the most powerful free word processors available. Read on for more details."

The Gnome guys usually do this about a month before the next Gnome release goes out. Search for Davyd Madeley's articles, for example.

The KDE guys are taking a more distributed approach to advertising the new features. That approach makes sense because KDE has been struggling with a difficult situation: how to keep people excited about a revolutionary release that will take awhile to get out the door. It's probably better to feed the features piecemeal to keep the excitement and interest going.

That same situation hit Gnome at 2.0 and almost destroyed the whole project. KDE seems to be doing much better in handling it this time around.
