Sebastian


Antonis
- worked on Plasma Active launcher, progressing well, but bugs left

Ivan
- working on window model mutability in kactivities to be able to move windows 
between activities
- Would like suggestions how to make pretty drag and drop between windows

Aleix
- Profiled plasmashell together with Vishesh
- filed a bunch of reviews, already reduced startup time and mem usage 
considerably already
- Much memory is lost when creating too many textures of pixmaps, background 
of windows are the biggest offenders right now
- initialization order and signalling is not 100% correct

Jonathan
- Made and fixed tarballs based on feedback
- please verify tarballs
- please push bugfixes into 5.1 branch as well

Marco
- Tieing up lose ends of the wallpaper contest
- Worked on applet alternatives (used e.g. for the launcher)
- Improvements for sizehints of plasmoids (needs some testing, not in 5.0 for 
that reason)
- wrote a unit test for corona containment

Martin
- new klipper is merge-ready, please review
- working on a new decoration API, making it easier to move it out of the 
"main thread"
