What we're working on

We're evaluating all the KDELIBS libs and classes and organizing them different groups depending of how much effort we will need to move them outside kdelibs.

KDE-Core dependencies: www.kdab.com/~volker/kde/kdecore-usage-graph.ps

Only Qt Dependencies

KJS
Solid
Compression
Threadweaver

Can we move out

KHTML
Plasma
- DNSSD
Kross
KUnitConversion
- Small usage of kio/solid
DNSSD
- uses KUrl and KStandardDirs (to get the xdg configuration dir)

Need some work

KAuth
- Remove it from components such KPushButton
- Isolate it into a lib
- Create components such KAuthPushButton

Modularization

Functional framework

KDE Integration framework -> should be as small as possible.

 Integration between KDE applications: styleguide, defaults, etc.
  ui_standards.rc

Interface (= platform abstraction)

 KWallet, Solid

Platform (OS-dependent implementation; should be in kde-runtime, not kdelibs)

 E.g. wallet of the platform.

KDE Core

[old list, see the google docs spreadsheet for more details]

KStandardDirs
- Remove KGlobals->dirs
- Split between workspace/platform (wallpapers)
KComponent
- We use mainly the name, so maybe we can move or get that to/from Qt
- This is a perfect candidate for KDECoreCore
- About dialog
staticQString (Remove)
findDirectChild_helper (Move to Qt)
KToolInvocation
- Platform plugins KDE = kdeinit, others=QProcess
KMimeType (Move to Qt)
KLockFile
- Qt (useful for QSettings at least)
KDirWatch
- QFileSystemWatcher
KDebug
- Sdd extra features to QDebug
- configurable debug areas -- depend on KConfig/QSettings issue
KTemporaryFile:
- Replace with platform plugin for QTemporaryFile
KLocalSocket
- only used by KIO::Connection, and should be replaced with QLocalSocket
KSocketFactory
- Seems to be about proxy support, but isn't fully implemented.
- Maybe remove, but proxy support needs to be fixed somehow.'
