[edit] Akonadi sprint notes

• Roadmap?
• Multiple resources
• Profiling krss using real data and optimization
• How to represent tagged items in the UI?
• Can we share model code with Stephen's new (item) models?
• Feed* -> Feed::Id? - Dmitry, almost done
• Flattening the Feed class Hierarchy? - done
• Expiry
• Trash?
• Filtering
• Icons (see below)

Akonadi wishlist:

• Batch jobs
• Search

[edit] Needs research

• What are possible settings for the resource?
• Read up on OPML/RSS/Atom spec (+ on the itunes podcast extension so we can set appropriate attributes; other extensions?)
• Possible Nepomuk RSS ontology (I found one on the web, not sure if it's correct)

[edit] TODO

• Akonadi (default) tag provider (Dmitry, in process) - done
• Use Tag class everywhere (Dmitry, in process) - done
• Refactor the chain: KRss::Item should hold Akonadi::Item which in turn should hold KRss::ItemPayload (as payload) and make the RSS serializer plugin work with KRss::ItemPayload instead of KRss::Item (Dmitry) - done
• Finish the virtual RSS resource for managing virtual/search RSS feeds (Dmitry. The code floats around somewhere on my disk. There were two blockers on the Akonadi side - the DBus deadlocks and support for link/unlink jobs - which are finally resolved)
• Proper handling of icons in feed/item/tag classes (Dmitry)
• Replace the hard-coded values with consts ("application/rss+xml" and so on) (Dmitry)
• Use stl algorithms instead of Q_FOREACH (Dmitry)
• Split the item into 2 parts: Headers and Content (Dmitry) - done
• If the resource was not configured by the user (for example when migrating the feedlist from Akregator) create a new OPML file in the default location (somewhere in .kde/share/apps/) - done
• BUG: when configuring the resource, tags are not imported from the OPML document (maybe it makes sense to have an option 'Import categories and folders as tags')
• Make TreeNode public and pass it around by shared_ptr and kill AbstractFeed* classes - done
• Don't use Akonadi IDs in the public interfaces - done
• Replace Akonadi::ItemFetchScope with our own ItemFetchScope
• BUG: Make the Akonadi RSS (de)serializer plugin more reliable wrt empty items - done
• BUG: content of the item gets erased when attaching a tag to it
• Fine-tune monitoring as it affects the performance of the library a lot
• Add FetchFeedJob test
• Add ExportOpmlJob test
• ItemDeleteJob should only mark items as deleted and probably hardlink them into 'Trash' virtual collection

[edit] Long-term project goals

• Port Akregator to this framework
• Create a generic RSS Akonadi resource that allows to easily add other types of RSS sources (RSS feeds from an Openchange server, online feed readers)
• Implement an RSS resource for the Newsgator.com online reader
• Get KDE4/Akonadi/this RSS framework up and running on my N800 so I can *finally* read feeds everywhere and sync them via NG.com
