KDevelop/ViennaSprint2012

Things to be discussed:

• KDevelop as an SDK: Frameworks/Epics/KDevelop_based_SDK
• KDevelop on Windows, anybody knows what's going on?
• Static Analysis and KDevelop, what can we do?
• Reusable libs/tools for C++ preprocessing, parsing, semantic analysis
  • even preprocessing lib can't be reused because it uses IndexedString which requires item repository
  • clang is the future
• Operations
  • Mailing lists moving to KDE? What will we have to change, if anything?
  • kdevelop.org domain transfer to KDE e.V.?
  • extract quanta repositories to playground: css, sql, xml, crossfire, phpformatter
  • can we get someone to make reviewboard preserve the orignal uploaded patch file (with git author information)?
  • first alpha releases: qmake, css(?), ruby, python, xdebug, executebrowser, upload...?,
• review, fixup, test, merge
  • Miha's branches
    • Can we merge yet?
    • Can we better integrate the unit tests?
  • kdev-valgrind
  • perforce
  • mercurial
  • control flow graph
• General stuff
  • More default colour schemes for kate/kdevelop editor component?
  • New splash screen! :)
  • add a C++/KDE application template which uses a QtDesigner .ui file?
  • Different default settings for kate:
    • Who uses 8-width tab indent?
    • Who does not want backspace at the beginning of a line to unindent? etc.
  • Any chance to get focus-follows-mouse for the kate/kdev built-in terminal? It's very confusing when used with an environment which normally has focus-follows-mouse (kwin has such an option too, maybe the setting could be coupled to that?).
• Bugs to discuss
  • fix debugger tooltips (they behave in an annoying way if the mouseover target is changed quickly)
  • [Crash bugs on pressing enter? What's the status here? Those are *really* bad.] fixed from what I heard? :)
  • Crash bugs on switching areas / closing all files
  • Crash when deleting folder containing files
• Things to improve
  • Better launch config dialog! It's unusable currently.
  • minor: only suggest include completion entries for 1 or 2-char names if requested explicitly? I often accidentially include stuff which defines a struct called "c" or so.
  • Search in Files: The "new search" icon / button is not obvious. It looks like a settings button. Maybe give it a text, or a different icon?
  • make quickopen delay configurable? it still annoys me significantly.
  • a visually more attractive "pick session" dialog
  • multi core performance
  • general memory and single core performance
  • fix slowdown of project context menu caused by "git status" call or something similar
  • support DnD copy in project view
  • support Copy/Paste of files in project view
• Technical
  • Formatting of autocompletion list entries: incredibly difficult, can we get something less complicated like HTML/CSS text formatting?
  • kate autocompletion API: can we get a way to mark items as "unimportant", sorting them at the very end of the list regardless of alphabetic sorting? Otherwise it's very difficult to offer 20 different entries starting with __ without being annoying.
  • kate autocompletion: do not complete when only single option is presented
  • discuss how to properly implement class/function aliases for scripting languages in the duchain
  • different/other backends for duchain
• unified coding style and licenses on all kdev* code
• "generic" language plugin? could work similar to kate syntax files (or even use them?) and provide autocompletion (and maybe highlighting / navigation) based on that. it would be very useful to implement rudimentary support for languages like JS which have nobody working on them specifically.
