Refining

Ready

Make distros ship defaults
- Distros to look up to: Kubuntu, OpenSuse, ArchLinux, Chakra, Mageia, Fedora
- Collect defaults, ask why?
- Proceed to merge to upstream if it's a sensible change. ignore the changes (if it's just branding/wallpapering), or negotiate middle grounds.
Review default activities
- Make sure they are useful, gain expertise in them
- Improve naming
Location API
- Goals
  - Change timezone when changing country/borders
  - Weather applet shows relevant location
- Tasklist
  - We currently have a location dataengine. It supports gps and hostip, it doesn't work any time I've tested it (d_ed in England and Barcelona)
  - Investigate Geoclue (Marble did at http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Marble/GeoClue)
  - In geoclue only one engine that worked was "Ubuntu GeoClue". (hostip also fails here)
  - Need to have more backends in the dataengine so that it can be considered reliable /or/ reconsider using Geoclue.
Activities support in apps
- Konversation, ¿Quassel?. Activity per chat room, global chat rooms?
- KDevelop. Match Session and activity
- PIM. Depends on the application, need feedback from PIM developers.
- Gwenview. Improve welcome page to match the activity
- Gwenview. Streamline image importer
  - When an SDCard is plugged, recursively show all images. If a harddisk is plugged, let the user browse the folder hierarchy
- Konqueror, rekonq. Browsing+Activities FTW
- Firefox, Chrome. Figure out if we can get something done there, maybe extensions?
- KDE Telepathy
  - Blocking on a usability discussion documented on the KTp mailing lists about Global Presence. Emailing Usability Expert.
- Yakuake. Different tab sets per activity?
Taskbar entries should be merged with KSNI
- Find a way of making application developers stop using the systray as a taskbar.
- We must find a way of merge KSNI and taskbar entries.
- It seems that Canonical developed something called BAMF that apparently does the job. Research BAMF.
