The migrator has been activated with KDE 4.2 beta1, however we slightly 
modified the scope for the final release such that it will only do 
the "backend" migration (that's the --omit-client-bridge option in Volker's 
command).

To phrase this a bit differently and hopefully better understandably:
Any Akonadi application will automatically have access to the same data KDE 
PIM applications have access too. Basically Akonadi is just another 
application accessing the same files.

The KDE PIM applications will still access it through the current means.
We would have loved to given them access to Akonadi as well, but this part of 
the compatibility facilities has proven to be too unreliable.

The drawback is that there will be a bit of delay between Akonadi 
applications, such as KPilot, applying changes to data and the KDE PIM 
applications "seeing" it.

Cheers,
Kevin
