Sorry for not attending. I was traveling back home when the meeting was up.
Out of curiosity, any update on a frameworks sprint in Toulouse yet?

And to add my point to it.
I've started working on adding more detailed signals for
QFileSystemWatcher in an effort to:
1. Make that more usable
2. Deprecate KDirWatch

I've added the "created" signal as we know it in KDirWatch and now
have to go through the Qt review route which is a first timer for me.
I have working code + testcase :)
This obviously won't be done for Qt 5.2 since it's frozen already. I
hope it might get into 5.3 along with a few more signals.
