Topics

Please add topics you would like to cover here:

• KDE PIM 4.6 release
• Kontact touch, demo on several devices if people are interested (N900, HTC Touch Pro2, Ideapad, Aava Mobile Smartphone, Wepad). Experiences, especially size.
• KDEPIM and professional development, credits discussion
• Kontact from KDE 3 under KDE Platform 4, config file clashes?
• Outlook invitation compatibility and "enterprise" setting in general. Ideally, we would like to reduce each point
• sqlite vs mysql and the indixes, measuring and example data
• Webpresence of Kontact and KDE PIM is lacking a lot
• Kontact (Desktop and Touch) on windows
• experiences with setting up the continuous build systems for Kontact Touch on Maemo and CE: problem of full builds -> saegerwerk. Problem of included files and dependencies.
• is a better maintainer for ktimetracker available (question from tstaerk)?
• Git workflow ( fwd port with git-merge or git-cherry-pick? )
• N900 performance problems. Still spurious appointment conflicts when syncing.
• Summer of Code ideas brainstorming
  • Merged contact view in KAddressbook
  • Social networking resources (Studivz, LinkedIn etc)
  • ...
• Trash handling in Akonadi
• Import/Export in Akonadi
• Exchange support status?
• Nepomuk integration for Calendar Incidences and Notes?
• Demo of my hackweek project (Cornelius)

4.6 Release and Migration

Migration

Last remaining blocker: Mail migration.

• Fails in error cases (no wallet, no network)

Solution:

• Make migration is optional
• Fix migrator error scenarios
• Fix no wallet scenario

PR

New features:

• IMAP IDLE
• Per-folder cache policies
• New touch front-ends
• New calendar/contact backends (Google, Facebook, DAV, etc)
• Plasma access to the calendar, Plasma mail front-end
• TODO

Messageing

• Ready to use, but very distruptive technology change.
• Highlight application changes, not backend changes.
• TODO

Plan

• Fix migrator (ideally this weekend)
• RC release ASAP (ca. March 2nd with 4.6.1)
• Final release in about a month (4.6.2, April 5th)

Trash Handling

TrashJob

• Delete Item if already marked as deleted
• Move to trash collection if available
• Flag item with MarkAsDeleted attribute

MarkAsDeleted attribute:

• collection to restore Item

(can be translated by the resource, i.e. to the imap mark as deleted flag)

TrashSetting

Per Resource Setting:

• TrashCollection: For remote resources the applicaton could still setup a separate resource with a local storage format which is used as trash.
• Time before MarkAsDeleted items are deleted by the janitor agent(based on modificationTime of item)

TrashFilterProxy

Hide MarkAsDeleted items, except if parent collection is a trash collection

StandartAction

• DeleteAction -> DeleteJob
• TrashAction -> TrashJob

Janitor Process

Process to delete items based on MarkAsDeleted attribute and the configuration how long items should be kept

Database

• Search for git log about reason for sql indices (hours)
• Bulk import API (hours)
• Email Dataset Korpus (Enron-Template) (hours-days)
• Low Level DB Introspection API (days)
• Transaction Scheduling (R/W Queue) (weeks)
• Nested Sets (weeks)

• Reuse of Prepared Statements
• Correctness of SQLite (constraints)
• (updateable) Views
• improved Object Relation Mapper

Git Workflow

• Enterprise branches: clone or branch? -> branch
• Central model, like with SVN
• Follow general KDE rules, discuss in general KDE context
