Definition of Frameworks and Platform

In our communication we want to use Frameworks, since this communicates the modularity of our libraries better than the term "platform", which gives a more monolithic, either-or impression.

Framework

  • Useful as separate library
  • platform independent

Platform

  • not necessarily portable
  • ...

What needs work here?

The following list gives an idea of some problems we see with splitting up our frameworks:

  • 1) needs sycoca
  • 2) uses mimetype/xdg
  • 3) uses kded
  • 4) kglobal used, but only for ref/deref (which can maybe move into Qt)
  • 5) uses kglobal (in a non-trivial way)
  • 6) uses kaboutdata
  • 7) should be optional
  • 8) duplicates functionality in Qt
  • 9) should move into its own library
  • 10) Make Qt only/split out KDE-specific parts
  • 11) No clear picture
  • 12) Should not be made public
