yeah, they did a lot of very basic work to get there! :)

of course, the problem there was that the calendar widget is 1000s of lines of 
code that is well tested. that is a huge investment to just get rid of.

i would guess it would be easier to get Korganizer to use a new QML version of 
the calendar widget and share that with Kontact Touch than to try and keep 
KOrganizer where it is and have something completely separate for kontact 
touch.

as long as it doesn't get made so simple that we lose the ability to interest 
corporate and government users. groupware is not a simple thing and has many 
requirements.

in the reach for simplicity, we must keep the use requirements first in mind. 
"simple" is contextual to that.
