Quality checks (again)

[Andras Mantia]

Hi,

 The discussion about the quality checklist did not really went in the 
direction I wanted, as it was more about my implementation 
(http://developer.kde.org/quality-check/) and not the checks 
themselves.
So hereby I propose some items that should be checked for KDE4 
(libraries and applications). Naturally some of them are library 
specific, others are application specific, but the implementation can 
deal with this problems.

A)  I request that every maintainer of applications and libraries in the 
KDE subversion repository create his/her own XML file for the 
application (or the module). If you don't understand how to do it, let 
me know and I will create the file.

B) The proposed checks are:

 1. Ported to Qt4
 2. Doxygen documentation exists
 3. Regression test suite exists
 4. Follows the coding conventions
 5. Uses KIO for file access (network transparency)
 6. Uses KConfigXT
 7. KIOSK aware (merge with 6?)
 8. Uptodate handbook
 9. Uses .ui files
 10. Uses XMLGUI 
 11. No icon issues (uses the standard icons or provides icons and 
installs to the right place)

Some other ideas were:
 12. reviewed by the usability team
 13. implemented the results of the above review
 14. follows the HIG (when it's created)
 15. startup process is optimized (delayed initialization trick)

Please comment (add/remove/change items). Also you should know that by 
simply creating such a list will not help KDE unless you really check 
the code you maintain and regularly update the checklist page.
