>From my side, here are the user-facing changes I made :)

* Overhaul of most of the resource configurations dialogs. Here are the notable ones
with screenshots :)
  * https://invent.kde.org/pim/kdepim-runtime/-/merge_requests/28 (Imap)
  * https://invent.kde.org/pim/kdepim-runtime/-/merge_requests/35 (Dav)
  * https://invent.kde.org/pim/kdepim-runtime/-/merge_requests/24 (Google groupware)
  * https://invent.kde.org/pim/kdepim-runtime/-/merge_requests/21 (Single file calendar/contact resource)
* Overhaul of many folder settings dialogs for kmail, korganizer and kaddressbook
  * https://invent.kde.org/pim/mailcommon/-/merge_requests/5 (plenty of screenshots here too)
* Make it possible to create events when dragging emails into Kontact sidebar entries for
organizer https://invent.kde.org/pim/korganizer/-/merge_requests/46
* Made some minor improvements to the Kaddressbook contact group editor (added sorting
and filtering as well as better autocompletion)

And Clau continued to work on Kalendar, probably good to link to his blog for the full
overview of his changes :)

And as a small note, it can be useful to add a Noteworthy label to your user-facing
merge requests so that it is easier to find them later with
https://invent.kde.org/groups/pim/-/merge_requests?scope=all&state=merged&label_name[]=Noteworthy
I also forget about it often but that helps to make sure we don't forget anything
worth mentioning :)

Cheers,
Carl

It seems we found a volunteer for this month but I would be happy to do it in
two months for the next one :)
