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?

4.6 Release and Migration
Migration
Last remaining blocker: Mail migration.

- 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
Enterprise Build Options
- Compliant with RFC/standards/specifications or compatibility with other solutions (eg. Outlook/GMail)
- Thomas will compile a list of existing differences depending on KDEPIM_ENTERPRISE_BUILD, individual options will be discussed on the on the mailing-list
