I won't be able to fill in the doodle until the 10th of January. I am already on holiday and will go back to work on the 10th. I don't have access to my calendar. If organisation can't wait untill then, then i'll just pray that the chosen date is not conflicting with anything.<br>

I am glad to see this thread and equally glad to see the long list of<br>
valuable topics.<br>
I'd like to add something popping on top of my head for quite some<br>
time (while not working on picking new names for office suites ;))<br>
<br>
I propose to go with Qt-only libs a bit more, to make our offerings<br>
more independent each-other and drive potential contributions of new<br>
kind (Qt only devs, non-KDE devs...).<br>
Filters are good candidates for this group, and especially the<br>
lower-level libraries like mso Smart Art, Diagrams...<br>
<br>
KoReports are nearly Qt-only already (as a fork of OpenRPT it has<br>
never used kdelibs in fact). The same for KoProperty lib.<br>
<br>
I am investing into Qt-only Predicate a lot too<br>
(<a href="http://community.kde.org/Predicate" target="_blank">http://community.kde.org/Predicate</a>), as you know it'll be dependency<br>
of kexi, hopefully 2.4.<br>
<br>
Moreover I also believe that every app has some nontrivial bit of code<br>
that can be provided on the outside with a simple API, say, using the<br>
Facade pattern.<br>
<br>
At a conceptual level the idea may evolve into slightly different<br>
model of composing our building blocks: develop core functionality as<br>
Qt-only and then extend for KDE, to get the integration level and<br>
look&feel we all want.<br>
<br>
A bit like it is in WebKit/QtWebKit tandem.<br>
<br>
RFC.<br>
