KDE 4 Roadmap

• Qt 4/KDE 4 Port
• Work on parts of kdelibs relevant for kdepim. KDE 4 will be the first opportunity to do that for quite some time due to our requirement to keep kdepim compatible to the last stable release.
• libkabc: Review fields, make some X-fields to standard fields. Cleanups
• kresources: hierarchy, priorities, profiles, app-specific activation
• KConfig XT: parametrized groups
• Convert SMTP kioslave to library
• Get rid of libical
• Move Kontact interfaces to kdlibs (?)
• Details, refactoring, cleaning up, etc.
• More...

Timescale: along with KDE 4, no special requirements

Criteria for inclusion of applications in kdepim

• Technical reasons (mainly dependencies)
• The people who have the work should have a strong influence
• Helps to have a reputated KDE developer as advocate
• Adhere to special kdepim rules (compatibility requirement etc.)
• General KDE criteria (license, commitment to maintain app in KDE CVS, etc.)
