Port activities system. Activities gather different content like applications, documents, web pages, contacts etc. that belong together. This way, they allow to quickly access the resources related to the task at hand. For example, when in Work activity, you'd get only a list of your work contacts, and related documents. Also, they allow to encrypt the data that belong to specific activities. |

Buddycloud is currently working on getting its service into native mobile apps (andriod and iOS so far). There is an ongoing effort to integreat WebAccounts within KDE. Getting a Tablet that is capeable of running Plasma Active would benefit my development work greatly because i would be able to test the Touch UI parts. Please note, that aside from some patches, i am not a full KDE contributer yet, but id like to change that. |
| Eli MacKenzie | [email protected] | Ontario, Canada | Konversation IRC Client | http://konversation.kde.org/ | Every platform where KDE developers are found should have an IRC Client :) |

Many OS specific code issues remain (low level network, low level audio, RPC/dbus), but it should be possible to make a port, I would love to try. I also have some work (yet to be merged) on Umbrello I would like to test on a touchscreen |
