There is a kdeexamples repository, I'd say we should use that.

Might make sense to triage that and check for obsolete or outdated stuff and 
then move the rest to a pim folder in kdexamples.

We can probably create an akonadi and a kdepim tree in kdeexamples. Other 
modules also seem to have their own top level dir in there, e.g. kdegames

I guess it would also help to have a couple more tutorials on 
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials and to update the existing ones.

My plan regarding the latter was to commit the "final" code for each of those 
to the example repository but I keep forgetting about it :(

Cheers,
Kevin
