Help proposal for Akregator

[Pierre]

Hi

Those of you following IRC or git commits may have noticed I contributed a few 
patches to Akregator in the last days. I am an avid user of Akregator. My 
archives are more than 10 years old (who want to read back the announcement of 
Qt 4.4 TP 1 ?), over 700 000 articles… I initially proposed patches paving the 
way to have a SQL archive backend, because I don't feel safe having 2GB of 
files almost impossible to backup and unusable outside akregator. And thus I 
started digging in the code, fixing performance issues…
And after some discussion with Laurent Montel, I would like to officialy offer 
my help maintaining Akregator. I can't promise I would be the best maintainer 
ever, not even an acceptable one (I've got other codebases and some other time 
intensive hobbies…), but I'm willing to help fix Akregator's bugs, implement a 
few features…
And if that's ok with you, I plan working on performance, memory usage, and on 
the SQL backend (it's in alpha-state, but working), to get rid of metakit and 
a huge amount of issues it comes with. Before somebody asks : porting to 
Akonadi right now is not possible for me, if you want an akonadi-powered 
akregator, you will have less pain rewriting it… and I don't have enough time 
to spare to do that. :)


Regards


 Pierre
