KOrganizer incident dialogs
Tuesday, 14 June 2005
While documenting KOrganizer incident dialogs, I was bugged about some small details. In the spirit of doing something about it instead of complaining, created some mockups to express these ideas. I noticed that you can't select the resource to save the event in the dialog. It seems an important feature to me. Also, the incident description is buried in the end of the dialog. It is hard to know it is even the place to write the description, as there is no label. Here is the original image (correction: this is not the original image, this is a previous mockup. The original image does not have a "Description:" label above the details edit box):

A little update
Friday, 10 June 2005
I haven't blogged for a while...
I had the pleasure of having Andras Mantia with me here in Brazil. I showed Rio de Janeiro to him, and Buzios, a very nice beach place, before he went to a free software conference in Porto Alegre. I bugged him about making Quanta better for DocBook editing, and he fixed some entity quirks, but other than that, it was leisure time.

Are Modules Tasks Pages a good idea?
Sunday, 19 September 2004
With the help of other pim developers, I updated the kdepim tasks page. The kdepim tasks page was a very useful tool during the last release cycle, and is already helping the kdepim quality team and eventual newcomers to quickly see what needs to be done.
Yes, we have a strong kdepim quality team, I am glad to say it. There are several people working on different areas of the pim applications, including the docs, websites, etc... who work silently, and are not explicitely involved with the quality team. However, at leat two guys, (me and Antonio Salazar), are already jumping in when needed. Antonio worked on Kontact docs during the last release cycle, and is working with KOrganizer whatsthis and hopefully with the docs too, and I wrote KPilot docs and whats this back then, and will do whatever is needed for this cycle (I did not decide yet). Some others started helping out in the last release cycle and submitted smaller contributions, and I hope to hear from them again (Hi Ramon and Jörg, how are you doing?). This effort started with the quality team annoncement six months ago.
Unfortunately, it seems that other modules did not have the same results as we did. My email to the quality list about the announcement for this release cycle got no response. I offered help: "If you want to create or update your page to the next release cycle, I can help! Just drop me a line.". Nobody asked (yet).
So if you think the tasks pages are a good idea, and you want to participate in the new release tasks annoncement, please drop me a line, or if you don't, I will go with with kdepim only.

Hello, and what to expect from the Quality Team
Saturday, 11 September 2004
Hello you all. I got into KDE development for fun, and I hope to have a nice journey while here. I have some nice ideas about why what we do is important, and I was already a financial contributor to Quanta before starting to help directly. You probably know me (or not) for my Quality Team work.
