In general all those ideas[1] are, well, ideas.

An idea is a starting point for research into a problem domain, a hint on what 
kind of work is currently been considered but not worked on yet by anyone 
else. Work that would be great to have done, ideally even gaining a maintainer 
for the respective code.

For my point of view a suitable QML API or its helper classes should be able 
provide the necessary features that the current widget based UI would need.

I.e. a UI that uses QML enabled widgets or QtQuick.Controls should be able to 
be an equivalent to the current user interface.

Just to put that into perspective: kdepim/incidenceeditors-ng is about 100 
files. And that does not cover the views IIRC.

Cheers,
Kevin

[1] a GSOC proposal is more than just a copy&paste of an idea (well, ok, some 
applicants try that).
