no i cant because 3.3.0 is marked stable by the kde group, and so is the
language file. why shouldnt a language fle work with gentoo?

In say, 3 out of 4 times, I get the same experience.

Some of the people in here, are arrogant towards others needing help.
Instead of just answering questions - even with another question - they'd
rather get involved in a looong thread, telling you how to post to their
liking.

this behaviour is scareing others off. the activity in this group is almost
*zero* - guess why!

btw: i have no problems in other groups, so i dont think its me. anyway: did
you have success to subscribe to the mailinglist (users-gentoo)? if so,
how? also the forum does not seem to work. i gave up after waiting 5
minutes to acess forums.gentoo.org

You *really* need to toughen up, if this scares you ... As far as I can
see, you've been met with great tolerance and patience in here ... No,
what really scares people off is the likes of P.T. Breuer in
alt.os.linux.

Most Gentoo users use the forums and/or IRC, where replies are faster?
Gentoo is still relatively minor, compared to the other Linux distros?
This group only handles specific Gentoo questions, while the other
groups take generic Linux problems?

Ah, but I think it was in fact you. At least to some degree. I think
I've previously explained to you why you got the kinds of responses you
got.

forums.gentoo.org unfortunately suffers under the rising popularity of
Gentoo ... The servers are simply too under-powered for peak traffic
hours. For more immediate help, go to #gentoo on irc.freenode.net.
There are usually 7-800 people in there, many of which are Gentoo devs.

I have not subscribed to the mailinglist. My forumsubscription worked fine.
Perhaps try again?

I should have been clearer ... The forums are actually quite fast
outside the peak hours, and the answers you get there are typically more
elaborate since more Gentoo users hang out in the forums than on Usenet.
As for IRC ... Well, nobody can argue that it's slow ... If there *is* a
solution to your problem, someone will usually tell you within a few
seconds to a minute. If it's really trivial, you risk 5-6 identical
responses within 5 seconds ... Always funny to watch :-)
