My Plans

Why Kexi? - introduction for Calligra Developers
Sharing Kexi's CSV import/export engine within Calligra
Better separation between engine and UI
Eating our dog food: use Kexi, Tables, Plan, etc. in our work

Other Plans

(from https://sprints.kde.org/sprint/43)

Shreya: Improving UI and features of Kexi Web Element,fixing bugs, Multimedia in Kexi
Dimitrios:
- Need for Interoperability between Calligra apps
- UI perspective from a non developer
- Promoting Calligra
- Plug-ins K.I.S.S. proposal
- Calligra and DTP (ideas)
- Kexi Documentation / Making documentation roadmaps
Radek: bug hunting in kexi, futher maps plugin expand

Outline

Why Kexi? - introduction for Calligra Developers

Sharing Kexi's CSV import/export engine within Calligra

Better separation between engine and UI

Eating our dog food

Why?
- Sends clear message: this software is useful
- Testing by fellow contributors is valuable
- Generates usage scenarios and then requirements
- Brings ideas for improvements in terms of integration with other apps
  - Helps avoid feature duplication
- If right tool picked, development process improves
- Team building
- Easier to understand and acknowledge differences between apps
- Helps identify specific competences among contributors

Use Where? 3 aspects
- Reusing our features of one app in other apps (instead of reinventing)
  - Target: Calligra developers/designers
- Using our apps in the development process
  - Target: Any Calligra contributors
- Using our apps elsewhere unrelated
  - Target: Any Calligra contributors and advocates

Use What?
- Use Kexi for relational data
  - Already good for storing and simple queries
  - Not yet good for analyzing
  - Only simple relational features
  - Status: not used, let's start!
  - Action point: provide usage scenarios
    - Example: CSV import/export
  - Action point: provide server infrastructure for shared databases
    - some of that public, some of that for contributors only
- Use Tables for tabular data
  - Status: used for some ods files
  - Action point: identify problems like usability
- Use Plan for project management
  - Status: some contributors use it
  - Action point: get best practices from them
