Kexi/Tasks

Warning

Mar 2023 [jstaniek]: Relevant TODOs moved to https://invent.kde.org/office/kexi/-/issues, https://invent.kde.org/office/kreport/-/issues, links added here. Continue working with the tasks there.

Note

This page exists to have a bird's-eye view to what's up in the project now and what would happen over time. It is useful to have up-to-date items for the contributors so we can synchronize, set priorities and share or exchange some tasks when possible. Synchronization is especially important when working in multiple time zones or just different hours. Please put top-priority/current tasks at the top of your section. You can add expected date of task termination as the task's prefix. When done, move the task to your DONE section (again, recently finished tasks at the top).
