Roadmap to Calligra Mini

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

During the sprint we started work on reusable Qt Quick components for
Calligra. The idea was to make it easy for people to create apps as they'll
just have to use the right QML component and everything else will just work
magically. All this lies in the branch active-calligratouch-shantanu (which
adds a new toplevel dir qtquick/ in calligra and then active/ uses those
components to show docs). It has couple of hardcoded paths, but works very
well with just this code (Test.qml) -

import QtQuick 1.1
import org.calligra.CalligraComponents 0.1 as Calligra

Flickable {
    Calligra.PresentationCanvas {
        id: canvas
        source: "presentation.odp"
        anchors.fill: parent
    }
}

There are similar components for Text docs, spreadsheets as well. This
should save a lot of reinvention when trying to render documents on a QML
based UI.
