KOrganizer

Dear fellow KDE developers!
As some of you might know, I'm the current maintainer of KOrganizer and 
libkcal. Unfortunately, I've found it harder and harder during the recent 
year or two to allocate enough -- or rather any -- time to KDE development. 
This clearly shows in SVN trunk, where KOrganizer is far from being ported to 
Qt4/KDE4 and libkcal didn't get the API overhaul that we have all hoped for 
for KDE 4.
The reasons for this is mainly time shortness on my side (day job, management 
of our choir "Jung-Wien", being a football referee, etc.). 

To be honest, I cannot responsibly act as maintainer for KOrganizer and 
libkcal any more. Unfortunately, the once so active KDE PIM crew mostly 
suffers from the same problems, so there is no logic successor for 
maintainership among us, who is not already fully loaded with various tasks.

KOrganizer (and Kontact) is currently the best calendaring application that I 
know, in particular together with the IMAP resource. You realize this in 
particular, when you have to use it for real life work, like I do. As a 
developer only, you don't realize what is important for businesses and other 
stuff. E.g. printing is really important, but KOrganizer beats everything 
else in that regard.

Of course, there are some things that KOrganizer really needs:
- -) Exchange support. That's the #1 complaint from business users
- -) A better month view. The current one is simply unusable and user-unfriendly
- -) some other smaller things, which are not so vital.

However, despite these small issues, all in all KOrganizer is a mighty cool 
application and the best calendaring app that exists currently.

Who is willing to take on the task to improve it even further? Of course, I'll 
provide as much help as I can, preferrably on IRC or by email.

Cheers,
Reinhold
