[Kde-pim] New kcalcore maintainer

[Sandro Knauß]

Hey,

Thanks for the warm welcome! Sergio also  thanks for mantaining kcalcore so 
far - you did a good job.

I don't have plans for new features . I see kcalcore as a RFC implemention 
around ical/vcal. And kcalcore sould do a great job in reading/writing this 
format. But should not be the domain logic for korganizer. So things like the 
the Observer should not be part of kcalcore in the long run. Also things like 
SchedulingID/ notbeook are not part of the RFC and are purly korganizer driven 
additions and should be removed.

One of the next projects for kcalcore is to port it to QDateTime, thanks John 
Layt to starting with it. We sould get in conntact to not do the work twice :D

But on the other side I know, that kcalcore is one of the widly used pim libs, 
that are also used outside of kdepim, so I will also focus much in a consitant 
API, to not break external applications. Thats why I'll plan after porting 
kcalcore to QDateTime is done and cleand up, you don't see the feature 
deletion. This deletion will take place in a kcalcore2 and kcalcore will enter 
in a bugfix only mode.

It would be great to get some connections to the applications, that use 
kcalcore to discuss the further development with them. I know about kube, 
zanshin, digikam, plama-workspace, what else?

> I guess this also includes akonadi-calendar, but I'll let Sandro answer 
that, since he already has plans of how our calendaring stack will look like 
in the future.

akonadi-calendar well I havn't thought about an agenda...

Regards,

sandro
