Discussions
Discussions about topics, which are relevant to all or a sub group of people. Please state audience and desired result of the discussion.
Future Development
Audience: all, Desired Results: Plan regarding future 4.x releases and port to KF5
- Update on the KF5 efforts
- What does KF5 mean for KDE PIM? When are we going to port to KF5?
- Consider code still using Qt3Support (KNotes, KNode, etc)
- What changes do we want to do in e.g. kdepimlibs for KF5?
- Suggested: Drop KResources, drop old KCal
- Are there any currently internal libs we want to publish?
Marketing
Audience: all, Desired Results: List of real problems, list of myths, plan how to address both
Akonadi and as a consequence KMail and the other PIM applications still have a pretty bad reputation. People perceive it as slow, using too much memory, or generally unstable. We should identify what are real problems and what is myth and come up with a plan how to address both.
Basically, there are two issues:
- Akonadi is perceived to be useless
- Akonadi is perceived to be unstable, buggy, slow
Both can be addressed by some decent articles and improvements to the website(s). The recent 'what did we fix in KMail' was great way of addressing the second point and we need to start writing about concrete examples of what will be possible (and esp about what is already done) asap to address the first issue.
libkolabxml
Audience: people interested in Kolab, Desired results: Decide about exposed payload formats
State & implementation of the new XSD based Kolab library, see
- http://kolab.org/pipermail/kolab-format/2011-December/001568.html
- http://kolab.org/pipermail/kolab-format/2011-December/001569.html
including:
- Which payload format could/should be exposed through ASAP for Server Side Akonadi clients?
Server Side Akonadi
Audience: people interested in Kolab, Desired results: design decisions
See http://wiki.kolab.org/User:Greve/ServerSideAkonadi
Points to discuss:
- Dependencies, in particular kcalcore, kabc
- Formats, see above
- D-Bus related concerns for server architecture
KDE PIM on Mobile
Audience: mobile people, Desired result: Plan for future developments
How is Kontact and other parts of KDE PIM doing on the N9, on Android, on other mobile platforms?
What are our goals for future development, is the current variety of target platforms and features sustainable? Who is working on it?
Distribution
Kontact Touch should be available through the community app store, rather than hand-b0rked installation, see
- http://apps.formeego.org/applications/
- http://www.slideshare.net/jukkaeklund/fosdem2012-community-apps-repository/
- http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/application_quality_assurance_in_linux_distributions/
How to make that happen?
Akonadi bugs
Audience: Akonadi developers, Desired results: Update list of bugs
Getting input on a number of Akonadi bugs
Resource scheduler
Audience: Akonadi developers, Desired results: Design for resource scheduler
Discussing design of resource scheduler
Maildir flags
Audience: KMail developers, Desired result: Decide how to handle maildir flags
Discussing handling of maildir flags
Storing calendar colors for Kolab calendars
Audience: Korganizer people / people interested in Kolab, Desired result: Implementation (plan) for storage of calendar colors according to KEP 12.
See KEP 12: Color configuration storage for resources and categories for the specification.
Saving searches & results in cross-client scenarios
Audience: people interested in Kolab, Desired result: Design parameters for system that would work for Akonadi as well as server side clients, e.g. Roundcube & Co.
This is a subject that has been started as a discussion in the Kolab community, but never been fully thought through or finalized as a design. For input, see KEP 15: Saved searches and sharing searches across all clients
Contact Aggregation
Audience: People interested in contact management and/or Nepomuk, Desired result: Coordination with KTP team
- conf call with KTP team to coordinate current efforts
- plan on integrating that into kdepim mainline
Presentations
Presentations of things interesting to the KDE PIM community. Please state targeted audience.
- Bachelor thesis: REST interface for Kolab (Thomas Koch) (Audience: people interested in Kolab)
- Server side Akonadi (Georg Greve) (Audience: people interested in Akonadi and Kolab)
- libkolabxml (Christian Mollekopf) (Audience: people interested in Kolab)
