kactivities

[Aaron J. Seigo]

hi..

the Plasma team is working on the kactivities repository with the idea in mind 
that it is a "frameworks 5" style project right from the start.

it currently contains a library (libkactivities), a runtime componen 
(kactivitymanagerd) and some runtime data (ontologies).

what it currently lacks is full unit test coverage and upstreaming of 
Find*.cmake files (it carries with it its own FindKActivities.cmake; i will 
email buildsystem about this one ..)

the library currently has a kdecore dependency, but with Frameworks 5 / Qt 5 
that will drop to a QtCore dependency.

the daemon currently holds a kdeui dependency, but with Frameworks 5 it will 
drop to a dependency on libkdbus. it also curently uses KConfig, KWindowSystem 
and Nepomuk. if we rely exclusively on Nepomuk, the KConfig dependency can be 
dropped (or it could be turned into QSettings, even, as it doesn't need the 
features of KConfig at all). KWindowSystem should be splitting out to its own 
framework as well from kdeui (Marting Gräßlin has spoken to me about plans for 
this a bit already ..)

so .. if all is good with everyone, i'd like to put this on the "splitting 
kdelibs" epic as targeting a Tier 2 Functional Framework. Kevin: did i get 
that taxonomy correct?
