Topics

Nepomuk integration
- Review the current feeder agents, Sebastian had some ideas on how to improve them
- Review search queries used by KMail, esp. full text search does not yet cover everything I think
- Look into recording usage data (think recently used addresses++)
Kontact and Kolab Groupware update
KDEPIM on mobile devices like Maemo5/6, Symbian or Windows-Mobile.
The future of PIM/groupware regarding privacy and data syncing. (see the last section of http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-windows/2009-November/004359.html)
KDEPIM on Windows.
Thorsten wants to change back ktimetracker from a kontact part to a standalone-application. What experiences have others made?
SyncML support, both as client and server, and how SyncEvolution could be integration into KDE for that
sync support beyond SyncML
PIM data conversion (Evolution vCard dialect vs. KDE vs. ...)
Discuss merging of the akoandi-ports branch
- KMail data/config migration to Akonadi
- Identifying other critical parts for 4.5
- What do we do with bugs/wishes of the pre-Akonadi apps?
Making (more) use of CDash
- my.cdash.org
- fix our unit tests
- integration into our workflow (eg. subscribing kde-pim to build errors?)
Planning the 4.5 development cycle
- depend on kdelibs trunk or 4.4?
as much discussions, reviews, and presentations as possible
Parenting of Akonadi::Items
- http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.pim/26669
- Potentially implementable generically
- Lots of issues related to multiple possible parents for emails for example.
  - The agent can not just pick one item as the parent if you get duplicate mails for example.
Brainstorming for Summer of Code ideas

BOFs

qtcreator bof

How to participate: People who want to participate in this BOF contact Thorsten via chat.

Goal: We want to learn tricks how to use our time most effectively with Qt Creator. We want to learn and document how we best move existing KDE programs towards Qt Creator. As an example, if you do not have a .ui file for your UI, you will not be as effective as you could be with Qt Creator.

Topics

What about KDevelop and Eclipse?
How to create a new project with qtcreator
How to import an existing project (kdepim) into qtcreator
