Meeting Notes

Problems with the current 4.7+ release

List view performance

• needs more profiling
• ask people with problems to contribute callgrind/massif logs
• likely only some code pathes causing problems, indentify and disable them
• no major rework for 4.x, rather do the above

Migration

• make optional, rather do import than full migration
• improve mixedmaildir resource performance by applying the maildir fixes
• fix maildir to support standard nameing scheme on non-Windows

Nepomuk

• email feeder seems to download mail in a non-disconnected imap scenario, investigate and fix that
• merge feeders to improve scheduling
• make email indexing optional in system settings next to file system indexing, if disabled, disable search in kmail
• add agateau-widgets to places needing nepomuk in kab, composer and (if needed) korg

Mail Filtering

• spam pass through filtering stops processing of further filters apparently
• tokoe is splitting it into an agent
• filter config contains ids, thus not system independent

Move data loss?

• only unspecific and vague reports available
• originally supposed to be fixed by external payload enforcement (-> missing error handling on payload store failure)
• seems to be related to moving uncached data
• seen on local -> local move, so unrelated to net issues

SQL inconsistencies for Christian Mollekopf and David Faure

• likely developer setup issues with mixing a lot of different setup
• tokoe was looking into making constraints more strict

Sprint dedicated to address these issues

Preliminary date: 16th to 18th September.

Near Future (aka KDE4.8+)

• get playground material that's ready released:
  • facebook resource
  • google resource
  • sugarcrm resource
  • syncevolution integration & ui
• Tobias wants to polish the account wizard
• Friedrich wants to extend the Akonadi kioslave for attachment access

Far Future (aka KF5)

• don't bother yet with frameworks work on kdepimlibs at least until 4.8 (and 4.9)
• KNode will cease to work without major work
  • port away from Qt3Support
  • merge into KMail while losing features
• Todo: use Zanshin, Kevin will discuss that with Sergio
• KNotes: drop it?
• Groupwise: drop it?
• command line clients still resource based
• drop KResource in KF5?
