Hi

I've spent some time on KDE4, and Salem has helped me on making it at least 
usable for test purposes for 2008, so here some changes:

- task-kde4-full and task-kde4-minimal: Neoclust and Salem have created this 
tasks providing both complete KDE4 installation and a minimal working KDE4 
desktop for people to try.

- kdeplayground4-plasma: Those are some test plasma applets and engines for 
people to play with.

- kicker is back: since the new taskbar plasma provides does not have a menu 
yet, we brought kicker back, so that people can at least launch applications 
from a menu. It is not as stable as we wanted it to be, but it is still 
better than nothing.

- k4: we have added a macro that makes it simple for launching KDE4 
applications on a KDE3 session. For example:
         k4 dolphin
opens the new file manager of KDE4.

- mandriva-kde4-config: this package provides some pre-configured settings for 
KDE4. For now it only sets the default window decoration and widget style to 
Oxygen, so that you can have a better idea of how KDE4 is going to look like.

Please test it if possible and report any problems you find. 
(mandriva-kde4-config is not yet built, but will be soon)

Cheers
