[Kde-pim] future of ktimetracker

[Thorsten Staerk]

Hi,

since some years I am lagging behind with the development of 
ktimetracker. It's always the same scenario: A good idea or relevant bug 
report comes in. Some months later I have a weekend for working on it. 
First thing is to get ktimetracker compile. Each time I am learning 
something new. Sometimes soprano is a dependency of kdelibs that is a 
dependency of the latest kdepimlibs that is a dependency of the latest 
kdepim. Sometimes I cannot compile because nepomuk which is/was a part 
of kdelibs was not compiled. It's always a different reason and always 
the same. In the end my weekend is spent, and not well spent, on getting 
kdepim to compile, not on fixing bugs or adding features.

This is why I am very proud to announce qtimetracker [1] will be the 
successor of ktimetracker. qtimetracker has been developed already since 
several years (originally for the Nokia N810), and I have an active 
co-contributor. I have been thinking back and forth about Joel's great 
article [2] but I lost all motivation going forward with the fight 
against dependencies or good old kdepim.

I would be happy if qtimetracker could stay a part of KDE PIM because 
of the great community, you.

What do you think?

Thorsten
