Here's a quick list of stuff in calligra that I am fairly sure is
unmaintained and won't be maintained any time soon. I would propose
to remove all of this and create a wiki page that lists what was
removed in which commit, so people who are interested can always get
it back. Right now, it's often a maintenance burden and a user burden,
since the user gets stuff in the gui that's not usable.
Additions and corrections are welcome.
Filters:
generic_wrapper (a filter that could use a python or perl script to do the
filtering)
xsltfilter (need Qt3 support, unmaintained since 2003)
Maybe also liboofilter, if that is used nowhere anymore
karbon:
filter that haven't been ported since 2006
ai
kontour
xcf
msod
oodraw
kchart:
svg (needs Qt3 support
kformula:
entire set of filters, none have been build since 2006
stage:
svg
genericimageexport
words
ooimpress
magicpoint
kpr
ooppt
sheets:
all filters are compiled; are they all still usable?
words
all the filters that only know kwd (whoever thought that making filters
write
to a file would make the filters more maintainable than linking to the
apps
internals was mistaken -- it only means the filters compile while being
useless)
mswrite
html
latex
amipro
applixword
docbook
kword1.3
oowriter
palmdoc
wml
abiword
Plugins:
commentshape -- is this available in any application?
musicshape -- Mek, are you still maintaining this?
paragraphtool (great idea, unmaintained, does not compile)
reporting/shape -- unfinished
scan (rc files for krita and stage, is shown in neither)
treeshape -- doesn't work and unmaintained
Tools:
maybe mobile and koabstraction -- neither is used in real life anymore
since the Maemo
platform is dead and we have Calligra Active instead.
kthesaurus -- unmaintained since 2002
Krita
colorspaces/lms_f32 -- not compiled for a long time now
extensions/backgrounds -- was unfinished
extensions/bracketing2hdr -- commented out for a long time
extensions/scripting -- not maintained (my fault!) since 2006
extensions/extensionsmanager -- unfinished
extensions/painterlyframework -- unmaintained
extensions/together -- looks like an unimplemented stub
filters/bumpmap -- we've got phong bumpmap now
tools/tool_curves -- good ideas, but not ported in 2006
