Talk with Jeff about this. Your ideas are good.

Ok, to make sure I understood all things correctly:
	-You want to tag current CVS to 0.3
	-You don't want to suppor 0.2x any more
	-We should require the new KDE beta versions

If you look into the config files of the locked modules you'll normally see 
some copyright information and a contact adress.
If you haven't a SWORD CD the .conf files are on the FTP server.
