Sprints/PIM/2023

Venue

• Artilect Fablab Toulouse
• 10 rue Tripière – 31000 Toulouse - France
• https://artilect.fr/ (website in French only)

Agenda

Add topics we should discuss:

• KF6-based PIM:
  • blocking issues?
  • release timeline, branching
  • Remaining issues with replacing the Kross-based account wizard
  • Retiring the Kolab resource in favor of CalDav/CardDav?
  • Retiring the mixed maildir resource in favor or "real" maildir?

• QML compatibility
  • QML APIs for PIM libraries
  • upstreaming QML API from Kalendar to KF

• PIM Frameworks in KF6
  • KDAV without KIO HTTP?
  • KCalendarCore custom/non-standard properties API

• PIM Libraries/Dependencies
  • KMailTransportAkonadi folding in akonadi-mime?
  • the last KWallet use in KMailTransport - how can we get rid of that?
  • moving the remaining things needed for Kalendar from eventviews and calendarsupport down to akonadi-calendar
  • can we reverse the akonadi-contact -> contacteditor dependency?

Notes

QNAM port of KDAV

• we want this given the state of KIO HTTP, the complexity of KIO HTTP deployment and due to not needing anything KIO HTTP provides over QNAM for the most part
• the good news: KIO is not leaking to the outside in the KDAV API, we can switch the implementation whenever we want
• migration plan
  • complete the test coverage using FakeServer scenarios, at least covering the three DAV verbs used here (PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, REPORT), ideally also the HTTP verbs beyond GET. Note that different paths are taken depending on the protocol (CardDav vs CalDav), so we need to consider both for the tests.
  • A single QNAM instance can then be held by the DavManager singleton, API to provide an external one isn't needed initially (and we probably won't want it ever, this opens a can of worms in term of API safety).

• Plenty of options in the area on all price ranges, living there I didn't get to try them though...
