PIM/Meetings/GCDS 2009

Meet the Akonadi and KDE PIM team at GCDS/Akademy 2009 :)

Meeting / BoF

General planning meeting: 08th July, 18:00 at the beach. Smaller meetings about the technical details during the following days, details TBA.

Please add your stuff here:

Evaluate state of KContactManager to replace KAddressBook
Branch planning regarding KMail and KOrganizer porting
Find a solution for the single-file resource (ical, mbox, etc) bugs with file watching detecting their own changes

Replace KAddressBook with KContactManager and rename that back to KAddressBook (to be done soonish)
Merge all work back from akonadi-ports branch soonish, with the following two exceptions
- KMail: Porting should happen in the akonadi-ports branch until it's done, which will likely be for 4.5
- KOrganizer: Similar to KMail, as long as we are doing intrusive changes in there it should stay in the branch.
Frank will take care of merging the Akregator port
The filtering framework will continue to be developed in playground until it's done
The mail transport agent will be merged into trunk soonish, after review of the corresponding changes in kdepimlibs.
Migration was discussed. The question was on how the dimap cache could be imported, but no clear solution yet.

How do we deal with mixed mbox/maildir folders?
- Best approach so far: convert to full maildir and import flags from the old KMail index files
Do we want to import existing DIMAP caches?
- Tricky, as only the resource is allowed to set RIDs
- OTOH we do not want to have legacy import code in the resource

Get rid of the in-application progress reporting
Instead use the same stuff KIO uses, which allows a similar level of details and interaction, if not more.
