Work areas

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

Needed for 5.0:

  • 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?
