Work areas

Previously raised areas for work (see k-c-d mail from Platform 11

Needed for 5.0:

• Q_GLOBAL_STATIC - with thiago now.
• Paths/Locations - dfaure (needed for mime Types) & KK
• QUrl/KUrl - With thiago to code, dfaure to test
• Ref counting - steveire, code, pending licence review
• Locale - jlayt
• Date/Time - jlayt
• Macros - part of review
• qDebug / kDebug - thiago may have some patches, not areas

Uncertain:

• Translations - jlayt to try find someone

OK:

• KAction - drf_ global shortcuts, auth
• Mime Types - dfaure, Win/Mac an issue? Talk to danimo.
• QIcon/KIcon - need to merge, loading needs work - Jens B?? / ogoffart knows
• Shared Data Cache? mpyne? Till ported to Mac
• Notifications - agateau???
• SVG? - Alexei on top of WebKit?
• KConfig - Helio? Qt-Addon for 5.1?
• KJob - Qt-Addon for 5.1

Other Points

svg icons - need cache + proper renderer before useful, can wait for later kwebkit - stay on 1, port to 2 is non-trivial?
