Warning

If you clear a task, please write "Completed" near it. If you are still working on it, please put your name. Percentage of the work done is accepted.

Tasks

If you want to claim a task, please put your name (or nickname, both is better) in brackets near the task you wish to claim. Please add it when you start working on it, and if you stop, please remove it, so we can know "who is working on what" and what tasks still needs to be started.

And, of course, this will avoid duplication of work. Thanks a lot! =)

Note

This is not meant to be a replacement for the feature list on the release schedules pages, but rather a place to record things that aren't there.

KRunner

Runners

runners, runners and more runners!

Interface

improve paging
nicer user switcher

Misc

Plasma

Documentation
- design docs coverage (workspace/plasma/design/)
- Techbase tutorials for:
  - Wallpaper plugins
  - Containments
  - DataEngine
  - Service
  - Theming
- website overhaul
General libplasma
- more unit tests.

Plasma::Applet
- add global settings config page, if it exists in the Package (which means adding a pair of entries in packages.cpp for globalconfigui and globalconfigxml), alongside the per-applet ones
- a way to access resources for customization (think: clock faces)

Corona (QGraphicsScene subclass)

Views

Widgets Here is a page describing the nature of these widgets. Widgets still needed that aren't implemented yet are:

DataEngine

Applets
- Welcome
  - offer quick access to a few starting points including: documentation, the online community, kde tips, configuration, etc.
  - each button should show a little help text when clicked along with some links/buttons that the user can click on to go somewhere.
  - have an area on it that allows one to enter or create an openid account.
  - see Projects/Plasma/Welcome and this image
- Timeline

-Just put your name (or nickname) in brackets near the task you want to claim.
-This will avoid the duplicate work. Thanks! =)
-== New tasks popped out in the meeting ==
-* Put the autostart functionality from KDesktop to ksmserver.
-* Merge the functionalities of ~/.kde/Autostart with ~/.kde/share/autostart
-* Complete runner classes in krunner
-* Integrate ksysguard's process table into krunner
-* What plasma will be able to do/what we do want from it:
-** Use a widget with background painting (e.g. fullscreen plasmoids).
-** Implement the zooming of objects.
-** Implement the grouping of objects in collections (with special containers).
-* See if QGV works well for ↑ (Unicode char for ^, arrow up). We will use it until the lasts days of march, then we will see how it worked. We will evaluate alternatives then (if not enough satisfied).
-* Create widgets aware of zooming, that won't continuously redraw themselves, but just at the end of the zooming animation (or something like that... use common sense ;-)
-** A label
-** A button
-** An svg visualizer
-** An html widget
-** A line/textedit (does it already exists?)
-== What happened in the meeting ==
-This wants to be just a short resume on what happened in the first meeting (21-02-2006)
-First thing, Aaron explained us what is his idea of Plasma and why he arrived there. Especially, he said that: «we need an amarok of the desktop so people go "oh. -that's- why"».
+== Tasks ==
-For those still not familiar with this concept, he explained also that everything will be "a widget (or, as somehow caught on, "plasmoid")... from the launcher buttons to full on widgets and mini-apps"
+If you want to claim a task, please put your name (or nickname, both is better) in brackets near the task you wish to claim. Please add it when you start working on it, and if you stop, please remove it, so we can know "who is working on what" and what tasks still needs to be started.
-Especially, the desktop won't be centered anymore on displaying the content of a folder. This will still remain availeable though, you will be able to do a full-screen plasmoid that shows the content of a certain folder. ;-)
-After that, we started the discussion on what needs to be done. The first thing is to get all the essential components that still are in KDesktop been moved away. So, we are at a good mpoint in this, because everything but the autostart stuff has been moved out and into KRunner. KRunner is a new application for KDE 4 that will manage the screensaver, will show a task list, will provide a run dialog and manage app startup notification.
+And, of course, this will avoid duplication of work. Thanks a lot! =)
