Thank you!

[Martin Steigerwald]

Hi.

As I just recognized again the value of gratitude, while I am not quite 
satisfied with the state of KDEPIM/Akonadi as of 18.08, not yet having 
easy access to a more recent version in Debian Unstable:


Thank you!


================================================================

Thank you to Dan, David, Volker and all the other developers who put 
effort into making KDEPIM/Akonadi a better experience for all users.

Yesterday I just read the recent blog posts about the improvements 
during the KDEPIM print and I can imagine it was quite a lot of effort.

================================================================













I am looking forward to have a go with KDEPIM/Akonadi 19.04 or later, 
whichever version of KDEPIM/Akonadi Sandro or someone else packages next 
for Debian.

I am also looking forward to the completion of the rewrite of the 
indexing/search stuff, as as far as I understand it is one of the last 
missing pieces for a major overhaul of Akonadi as thought out by Dan.


I still believe that in the end Akonadi would need to make it completely 
superfluous for users to deal with any database stuff or even do an 
'akonadictl fsck' as long as the underlying filesystem is stable. If this 
can't be fixed within Akonadi – Amarok, Digikam, Firefox, … are also 
using databases – by switching to some other kind of database that works 
reliably without any user interaction. But that would be for future 
improvements after the great big "refactoring" in Akonadi.

Thanks,
