Hello,<br>
this is just so that we can organize ourselves. Here's my proposal for<br>
the work on Alkimia that came up during this week.<br>
<br>
Brian, if you are interested, you could work on a DBus service that<br>
retrieves stock values via web or an import file and stores them for<br>
later use (that same storage as Mukesh has to use). That DBus service<br>
should allow for queries (so that Santosh can use it for his<br>
application). Also, a GUI could be available to show the stored<br>
stocks, with charts, sheets, et al.<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>Oh man I'm definitely interested! I was able to do (some) reading on DBus and KDChart last night, and both seem pretty sweet. So yea, I think I'm gonna put my little playground on the back burner and really get into trying to make a sweet quote service all of KDE can use. :) I'm curious what kind of scope you guys had in mind for such a service. At least initially, I was thinking keep it basic with just intraday quotes, company infos, and maybe some fundamentals ripped from Yahoo's Key Statistics page. <br>
<br>Is there also interest in having historical quotes provided by Alkimia? Something along the lines of
<meta http-equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title></title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="OpenOffice.org 3.1 (Unix)">
<style type="text/css">
<!--
@page { margin: 0.79in }
P { margin-bottom: 0.08in }
--></style>provide a symbol, time period, select
absolute/adjusted prices, provide a start date/time (latest if none
provided), the number of bars back from the start to return
(supporting both directly as an int or as a specified length of time
units eg 5 years), and (optionally) a maximum lookback period so
indicators can use “hidden” data; get results back.

Cristian, would you agree to co-mentor Brian with me? We have both<br>
done some work on these areas, so we can help out.<br></blockquote><div><br>You guys are too awesome! I can't say enough thank yous! :D<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
Questions, suggestions, and even nitpicking is welcome. :)<br>

Regards,<br>
