kdelirc (was:April 7th, 2009: Soft Feature Freeze)

[Michael Zanetti]

Hi Friedrich,

I think we (Frank and I) can bring back kdelirc for 4.3. I have already put it 
on the feature plan.

The current state:
- It is fully ported to Qt4/KDE4. No Qt3Support.
- We have heavily refactored/rewritten major parts because the original code 
was in a really bad state in terms of readability and maintainability.
- It is basically the same program as before. There are some new extensions 
and remote controls.

It is not 100% finished yet, but we're on a good way. All the functionality is 
restored. We still have to do the following tasks:
- Finishing rework of kcmlirc.cpp
- Fixing some bugs introduced during rewrite.
- creating svg icons
- some general cleanup (krazy checks etc)

About the documentation: We still have the original one. It is not perfect but 
at least not worse that at KDE3 times. Perhaps someone has the time to help 
out here...?

Are there any other tasks that I'm not aware of?

If there are no objections, I would move it to kdereview as soon as the above 
tasks are finished.

Cheers,
Michael
