I recommend we keep it "internal" for 4.0, e.g. disable it (or whatever the 
release people do in this case) and create (change it into) a proper command
tool for 4.1

Since we are planning on pretty much replace existing KDE PIM applications 
with Akonadi enabled newer ones, an Akonadi enabled commandline application 
core could be interesting for our current two commandline tool 
(konsolekalendar, kabcclient) as well, i.e. reimplementing them as specific 
purpose frontends.

Such a core could then also be used for a "shell bindings" like tool, i.e. 
where the tools user has to understand collections and items.

I am volunteering to do this.
Do we want the debug areas somewhere in the current KDE PIM range (5xxx)?
When yes, where?

We could probably "move" kitchensync from 5200 to 55xx (KPilot is 551x) and 
then use the 52xx range for Akonadi.

I see, thanks for clarifying.

Enjoy FOSS.IN!

Cheers,
