[kde-quality] KDE PIM docs

[Carlos Leonhard Woelz]

Hi,

I am checking the status of the kde-pim docs. I intend to maintain this list 
to help orienting the newcomers. When it is ready, I will make a page in the 
wiki with updated status for the kdepim module. I guess the per application 
page was not such a good idea, since it is too much work, and too many people 
work in more than one application per module. So I will try to maintain and 
update the page for the whole kde-pim, and specially make it ready for the 
launch of the kde quality team (monday).

Using KDE CVS data, I made a (crude) analysis, please correct me if I am 
wrong.

KMail: relatively well maintained, dnaber is currently updating it.

KOrganizer: needs work, last update 14 months ago.

KAdressbook: updated 5 months ago by tokoe, and got fixes from binner.

Kontact: cshumac added it two months ago, seems reasonably up to date.

KNotes: laurie updated and simplified it 5 months ago. Dunno if it changed 
much since.

KAlarm: got an update from David Jarvie two months ago.

KNode: last update ages ago

KPilot and Kandy: I don't have the hardware to test this apps, but lets go:

KPilot: last update 7 months ago by adridg with the comment "it is still a 
mess"

Kandy: very old docs! I think Kandy holds the record of oldest non-fix commit.

KonsoleKalendar: Allan Winter seems to be taking care of it.

The worse situations seem to be KOrganizer, KPilot, KNode and  Kandy.

Yes, I know that the update priority is a not only a function of the lag in 
time of the last update, but also of the current quality of the documents and 
the rhythm of the changes in the application. That is why I want your 
comments on this list.

With the exception of KMail, I don't use much of the other KDE PIM 
applications currently, so I am pretty neutral on which app to attack first. 
KOrganizer seems a good target, and I am willing to set up a testing 
environment for testing the groupware features if necessary.

Do you recommend setting up a Kolab (or other supported groupware) server only 
for that, or is this a overkill?

Cheers,

Carlos Woelz
