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.

Startup performance
- Plasma start-up profiling
- Nepomuk start-up profiling
- Nepomuk on-demand activation
- KDED start-up profiling
- Figure out if some tooling is needed?
- Test Active start script on Desktop
Sync Framework
- Implement a Sync Framework, capable of having multiple backends
- Implement Owncloud support for sync framework
- Sync metadata (nepomuk)
iPhone support
- Sync music
- Sync Calendar
- Sync Contacts
Android Support
- Sync contacts (in progress via Google contact syncing)
- Sync Music, MTP KIO.
Bookmark switching
Chrome and Firefox nepomuk integration
- Arranging app's
Streamline ui's look&feel of popup applets/panel
- Document inconsistencies we have right now (Bluetooth, Network, Klipper...)
- Create guidelines of how applets should look (Bluetooth, Network, Klipper...)
Visual feedback on window edges
- Make present windows discoverable
- Visual feedback on hot corners
- See: KWin/Screen_Edges
- Improve visual feedback for hidden panels
IM needs improvement
- The Plasma experience of IM is not perfect. The Telepathy team is on it.
SLC for the desktop
- Figure out how we want to use the Share, Like and Connect facilities in a windowed environment
  - Discuss it in plasma-devel
- Make Kamoso use SLC
- Make Gwenview use SLC
- Pastebin-like share applet
- Consolidate share implementations (pastebin, kipi, etc.)
Redesign notifications
- Activity-based Notifications
Improve localization support, multi-language environments
- Make installing language support easy
- Make sure input in different languages/alphabets is possible
- Spell-checking of mixed languages in the same document, consider actually using two dictionaries at a time (vishesh commented that it's common to use hindi and english in the same text)
File support for Clara and Raj
- Redesign openWith dialog
  - Ways to install application for a mime type
- Design a way of installing applications that support X mimetype (for example, offer to install Calligra when the user tries to open a .odt)
Sound integration
- Plasmify KMix
- Write new PA integration that make full use of it
Find better concept for "Plasma Active Welcome Screen"
Improve / new system sounds (Dario)
- Move to freedesktop standard ?
Redesign Activity swithcer
Fix activity switching and stacking (d_ed)
Streamline Images importer (Aurélien Cake)
Paper-cuts for applications (get started), app UI bugs
- Better UI reviews
- KDE Quality team (d_ed made a wonderful speech there)
Fix mapping windows <---> Activity in kwin (Martin G)
Reliable Nepomuk Everywhere
- Nepomuk + KDE Telepathy
- Nepomuk + Akonadi
- Nepomuk + Zeitgeist
QtQuick Components
- We need styled components
- Fix Plasma Components
  - Identify Issues add them to bugzilla (done)
  - Fix them!
  - Proper scrolls
  - Shortcuts, Accelerators
- Actual differences between Active and a
- Qt5 Components
Software discoverability
- We need a "libre" solution to create content galleries/stores
- We probably want to figure out if we want a KDE-wide solution
Raise PowerTop awareness (d_ed)
Social Feed (mck182)
- Make a social feed available for apps to consume (based on Akonadi)
- Ship a plasmoid (for dashboard?), possibly making it work in self-contained window (like microblog)
- Add it to some desktop apps?
- Implement notifications from the social feed to the workspace
Frozen app warning in KWin
Default memory consumption
- Research how much memory default installation uses and see what we can optimize
"Open-with" dialog redesign
- Only list apps supporting the file mime-type
- Reduce list as user types
- Produce good-looking .desktop files when the "Always use" checkbox is checked

In Progress

Explain how activities and virtual desktops relate
Screen Management (by afiestas)
NM redesign (lamarque, jan and lukas)
- Implement new applet following future guidelines (QML port in progress)
- Redesign current KCM to improve usability
- Previous work
Web accounts (by afiestas)
Consolidate screen edge actions (Martin G)
