Resource Framework

This report was contributed by by Cornelius Schumacher

Jan-Pascal van Best has developed a generalization of the resource framework of libkabc for accessing an Exchange server in KOrganizer. This framework provides a modular way to define, implement and use specific resources for calendar, addressbook and similar data. Examples are iCalendar or vCard files and servers using protocols like LDAP, HTTP, IMAP or SQL.

At the meeting the resource framework was moved from kdepim to kdelibs/kresources. Tobias ported libkabc to make use of kresources, Cornelius started to adapt libkcal and KOrganizer to the resource framework and Guenter converted the CalendarIMAP class used to access the calendar data on a kolab server from Korganizer to a resource fitting into the new framework.

Note: In the meantime the KOrganizer and libkcal adaptions have reached a state where it is possible to actually use resources of the new framework in KOrganizer.
