About

LibKPeople is a contact aggregation library for KDE.

It is *not* a KTp specific library, we are simply the first adopters as well as the developers so the wiki page is here for the time being. This page is about the libkpeople changes needed to make a release of KTp with libkpeople support.

Big discussions about libkpeople should CC the pim mailing list.

Setting up

Install libkpeople (https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/network/kpeople)

Reinstall KTp, and you have metacontacts everywhere.

You may also want to install PersonViewer a tool to view all contact information from all sources (http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=person-viewer.git)

IN PROGRESS	Add widget to PersonViewer to view associated websites
TODO	Port away from QStandardItemModel	It's slow and won't be accepted by PIM. PersonItem and ContactItem are fine, we just need to just not inherit from QStandardItem and do model stuff ourselves (apparently)
DONE	Rename examples		[mailto: Aleix Pol < Aleix Pol >]
IN PROGRESS	Fix tests	PersonData 80% done. PersonsModel to do	[mailto:[email protected] <[email protected] >]
DONE	Cache sub-resources in PersonsData	Vishesh to implement in Nepomuk Core	[mailto: vhanda < vhanda >]

KTp Stuff

Status	Summary	Notes	Claimed By
DONE	Move KTp plugins to k-ci-i
DONE	Add method to KTp::ContactsModel runtime switch from libkpeople or not.
TODO	Add PersonData method to KTp::Contact
TODO	KTp Contact has helper methods to get name + avatar for person
TODO	KTp ContactFactory can get personData as a feature on load, otherwise use Tp stuff.
TODO	Fix the singleton AccountManager problem	I don't know how many times I've shouted at people about the problem with using AM as a singleton.. and now we've done it in libkpeople. Brilliant.
DONE	Restore Grouping		[mailto:David <David >]

Public API Review

Below are a list of issues, please resolve (either by fixing or discussing) then remove from this list

The list of public classes are:

PersonsModel
PersonsModelFeature
AbstractPersonsPlugin
BasePersonsDataSource
DuplicatesFinder
Match
MatchesSolver
PersonActionsModel
PersonsPluginManager
PersonData

Anything else in the main lib is private and thus I don't care.

PersonsModel

Why is addContactsToPerson async but removeContactsFromPerson syncronous?

I /think/ if you call removeContactsFromPerson that contact is now not in the model, not inserted as a contact anywhere.

Testing

See git://anongit.kde.org/scratch/mklapetek/PersonViewer for a generic "new addressbook" KTp has kpeople support merged as an optional dependency

git://anongit.kde.org/scratch/vhanda/delete-pimo-people.git is a useful too for wiping all PIMO:Persons useful for testing merging repeatedly.

 Why is addContactsToPerson async but removeContactsFromPerson syncronous?
-The code says: "//FIXME: for some reason we get most of the contacts
+I /think/ if you call removeContactsFromPerson that contact is now not
-twice in the resultset,"
+in the model, not inserted as a contact anywhere.
-What's happening is we run a query "SELECT Distinct ?contactURI
-?emailAddressForThisContact"
+==Testing==
-If we have a contact with 2 email addresses, we get the same contact
-URI twice once for each new email address. (email addresses are just
-one example, it applies to all things fetched)
-Current code as far as I can tell, will ignore/hide the second email address.
-If we're going to do that, we can just simplify the query and make it
-faster too..or we should try and fix it properly
-Why does indexForUri go searching recursively through all the indexes
+See git://anongit.kde.org/scratch/mklapetek/PersonViewer for a generic "new addressbook"
-comparing them in turn when we have a frickin' hash table of
+KTp has kpeople support merged as an optional dependency
-everything indexed by Uri!
-Why is there duplicate detection stuff in the middle of this?
-It wraps DuplicatesFinder and turns the result URIs into indexes.
-but why? All the core methods work on URIs anyway, so this just ends
-up with us having an option to go to indexes and back for no reason at
-all.
-Why is query() a slot invoked through QMetaObject?
-I assume there's a clever sensible reason, I don't know what it is, so
-it needs documenting please
-I /think/ if you call removeContactsFromPerson that contact is now not
-in the model, not inserted as a contact anywhere.
-Misc thought: createPersonFromContacts et al, don't actually use the

-model. Can/Should these be moved elsewhere? Is there a case for
-calling it without the model?
