[kdepim-users] My impressions about the current state of KDE-PIM

[Carsten Aulbert]

Hi

just reading without any direct kmail2 knowledge which I will probably use 
once it appears in Debian wheezy.

I'd say, it looks like kmail2 is currently not in a state satisfying neither 
for (knowledgeable) users nor devs - thus would it help to channel the "anger" 
to the joint goal of getting kmail2 into a much better shape?

I know there is the main bug tracker and a lot of forums out there discussing 
issues and problems, but I miss a where this information is really available. 
There is http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/PIM#KDE_PIM_4 with a couple of 
links, but I don't think that's enough to address the frustration.

Would a kind of experiment help, where the wants and needs of users are 
collected and summarized, and commented upon by devs/other users how to solve 
get around it? This experiment should *only* cover the step from kmail1 to 
kmail2, but maybe this might help to get the ball rolling faster.

Though, I'm not sure what the best way of getting this done is - another wiki 
page and if so, something anyone can edit or only a smaller group trying to 
act as the glue?; part of the larger bug tracker; something else?

What do people here think?

Cheers

Carsten
