Plasma/PW2Todo

This document describes the necessary steps towards Plasma Workspaces 2 running on Wayland. It contains the current state of components that are being transformed to QML and Plasma2. Developers please update the status of the same here. REMEMBER! when start working, or you are done, update this page.

Definition of Done

If you are porting a piece of code, think about the following list when trying to finish it:

• In case of a Plasmoid, it is ported to QML
• It has been reviewed by the rest of the team
• merged into master branch
• verified to load and work in Plasma 2

Prioritized

The following items are necessary for a basic working desktop. This is pretty much what we need for our current default configuration.
