KPlugin -> QPlugin

Mark: 2 days

Likeback improvements

These changes are to improve likeback as a team tool. The alternative is complete removal, but we feel it can be very useful.

Fix dialog layout

It's not properly resizing. This is usually fixed by using the UI file more/properly.

Should be fairly trivial but tedious, likely just playing with QBoxLayout margins, size policies and stretch factors.

Done.

Send comments to forums

The user forums is a much better place to handle these. They are properly monitored and admined.

What's easy enough is have the "Feature request" button open the forums in the browser. Anything else, involving posting messages to the forums directly from Amarok, would require considerably more time.

Remove comment fields from like and dislike

People keep using it for support request, remove the temptation. Could be replaced by radio button group with fixed choises

As soon as we know which choices, this is quite easy and quick to do, a day or two tops.

Generate statistics for amarok-devel

Since we mention it's only to be used for statistical purposes, let's use it that way. There should be summery mail send to [email protected] every week.

Someone who knows a bit of PHP should do this.
