 Plasma Active 3 Planning Meeting
 
Task Proposal: <title>
 
User Story: ...
 
Why this is important:
 
Proposed implementation: ...
 
Owned by:
Effort Estimation: scale of 1-5 .. 1 is less than a day, 5 is a whole release cycle or more ...
Task dependencies:
 
 ==Usecases==
 
System Integration
     * Basic gestures working well on all platforms (including 
a local pinch-to-zoom)(Qt 4.8, XServer multitouch dependent)
     * Getting 3G working on all platforms (network management stack)
    * Internationalization (basically provide the translation packages).
    * Screen rotation (Wayland, not cleanly possible on x11)
    * more (touch) devices supported effort 3
        * Currenly we only have a couple of touch devices supported
        * More device bring more devs, users
        * Add more docs on ports to G9, Pov Tablets 
        * Add more targets as Mer based devices come onlne
    * Figure out and solve systemd (Mer) related issues (shutdown/reboot/boot time)
    * base platform: Mer as primary target?
 
 
 
Device shell
     * First boot config wizard effort 2 for the infrastructure, modules:
         * based on the system settings application:, same modules with prev/next buttons
         * Time/Timezone (current ui should be ok)
         * Wireless (only with the applet?) 4
         * Accounts (when ready, depends from account management)
         * Password device (if wanted)
 
     * Data security layer: encrypted activities in progress, effort 3/4 (depends how detailed will be)
     * activities syncronization between devices sync of different things 5:
         * files (webdav, owncloud) 2
         * contacts (owncloud) 2
         * bookmarks (owncloud) 2
         * other metadata, resource/activity association: more uncertain 4/5
     * lock screen: integrated sleep and shutdown 2/3 depends if the lockscreen will be integrated with ksmserver
 
     * Keyboard
         * Konsole-friendly keyboard layout -> (arrow keys) 1
         * Maliit integration 5
         * Make show/hide keyboard work properly 3/4: must be done case by case on every application
         * not overlapping important UI buttons 3/4: must be done case by case on every application
 
    * Account management (email, IM, ownCloud, etc) 4/5 different problem and implementation for each account type
        needed for: syncronization, sharing with slc, apps like microblog and kontact
 
 
File handling
     * Importing/sync photos from phone / camera, sorting. (IMPORTANT)
         * Should work with USB. um USB, but the tablet is USB-host :/ device dependent: some tablets will be host some the other way around
     * Browsing,tagging, organizing files of all types
     * Share arbitrary files on online services (SLC)
 
Media
     * Watching movies
     * Listening to music
         > Plasma Media Center 4
    * Taking pictures with web camera
        > kamoso does that already, just make it more touch friendly 1
     * sharing photos to web services
         > kipi can do that
 
Browsing
     * Moving urls / bookmarks between machines, so it's easy to "read on the tablet later"  2/3 (something similar to what Firefox sync does) (or using Firefox sync)
     * Save current webpage as PDF/HTML 1
 
Communications
     * Video calling (somehow make gmail video call work?) (KDE-Telepathy integration?) +1
     > Ask kde-telepathy guys about this
    * Maps and navigation (GPS)
    > Marble
 
Document viewing
    * Ebook reading
        > okular works pretty well, for now
    * Touch-friendly PDF reading including annotation stuff
    * Text docs, spreadsheets, presentations
        > Calligra Active. Works, needs stuff like find in doc, usability improvements 4
 
App management
    * App for updates
    * easy app browsing and installation
    
 
Developer Support
    * SDK, good API documenation with examples about how to use components.
    * Application UI guidelines
 
Enterprise special needs
    * ownCloud integration would be interesting; tie in with private cloud
    * personal own devices and proprietary cloud bothers corporate IT
    * good use of Activities

important issues that should get attention:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256291 <-- kio_file issue with nfs (several apps affected)
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276988 <--- makes silly results with the Open button, making the feature rather unusable
http://bugs.kde.org/251786 <-- network monitor causing CPU spikes
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277649 <-- try to preserve unloadable applet configs
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=279935 <-- infinite resizing bug with looong texts on buttons in a linear layout
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288827 <-- regression in device notifier
 
Junior Job candidates:
270974 - converted to wish for media player to show title of audio - a nice Junior Job - Klanticus is working on this. UPDATE: fixed in branch mediaplayer-4.9
256187 - a nice Junior Job -> don't read whole file into memory
199811 - do some special casing for http urls in the icon plasmoid
254861 - make sound in Bouncing Ball play quicker
284459 - webslice does not accept geometry, note that geometry should not be used if there is a valid element in the settings
273958 - WorldClock does not react well when it is in the dashboard, dashboard showing desktop widgets. Works on an independent dashboard.
288093 - the title information is missing for reason, likely due to something in the jobs display widget (e.g. it might only set the title on state changes? start / pause / stop)
287027 - update favorites when ksycoca changes
276542 - center plasmoids in hidden tray area
278497 - respond to changes on disk of actions in notifier
add screen brightness information and settings service to powermanagement dataengine (see Battery::brightnessChanged and Battery::updateSlider in battery widget)
256064: world clock plasmoid does not grow in the panel
240198: take exiv2 code from kdeplasma-addons/applets/frame/imageloader.cpp and add it to kdelibs/plasma/wallpaperrenderthread.cpp
 
make dbus calls in powermanagement engine all asynchronous (kde-workspace/plasma/generic/dataengines/powermanagement/)
