Apparently, with my original posting here, I stepped on several people's toes. I'm sorry for that, and for this reason, I've simply removed this content (and also because - as some of you pointed out - some of the things I mentioned were not Plasma's fault, but workarounds or bugs in other areas, although to me as a user they appeared on Plasma).

Until a few weeks ago, I had Kubuntu running on my Acer Aspire 5630 laptop (as described here), and was more or less satisfied. It looked great, hardware support was satisfying, but I was missing the incremental package upgrades that I was used to on Debian (so that things break one small piece at a time, not everything at the same time when you do an upgrade).

As I wrote in my last blog, KOrganizer now has the ability to export the calendar to all different kinds of formats using technology called XSLT transformations. The only thing that I'm missing (because I'm entirely bad at those things) are good designs that I can implement. Read More

XSLT is a W3 specification that allows general transformations from XML into practically any other format (mainly XML, but you can also create any text). In the kdepim 3.5.5+ feature branch I just added a plugin to korganizer, that exports the calendar into XML and then applies an XSLT transformation to it to generate all different kinds of output.

About a week ago, my laptop broke -- completely broke in the sense that not only does the machine not work any longer, it even trashed my whole harddisk. Now I'm at aKademy without a laptop and still one whole afternoon of the KDE e. Read More

Once upon a time, there were all those nice, separate applications that were somehow meant for various PIM tasks like mail, calendar, addressbook, etc. To make the world an even better place (and to share resources), they decided to unite, join forces and create this wonderful application, called Kontact.

Actually, today I wanted to do some serious bug fixing and reduce the number of items on my to-do list, but then I didn't get beyond one of them: Multiple reminders in KOrganizer. Read More

As I wrote in my last blog, my to-do list for KOrganizer keeps growing and growing (sure, I implement / fix lots of stuff, but it seems that its still a long way to make KOrganizer perfect). Read More

KDE is simply amazing. There you are, the current developer and maintainer of your application, and you think you know your application inside out and you are aware of all the small features it provides to the user. Read More

To be honest: While I really love the added functionality that subversion brings (offline diffs/reverts, atomic commits), websvn (or rather the viewcvs that we use on websvn.kde.org) just sucks for my use. Read More

As Bram noticed in his blog, I haven't been working much on KOrganizer lately. That's for several reasons: Lack of time (as usual, since I have my day job at university, and several other hobbies), I needed some time off KDE after the release and all the time that I spent on writing the groupware resources in the last few weeks before the relase. Read More

Boy, I can't wait till the feature freeze is finally over. There are so many useful things that korganizer needs, and I even took the time to implement some of them properly. Read More

So, finally KOrganizer's bug count got down from almost 95 bugs in July/August to 44 right now. The last few weeks I was really busy producing patches at quite a rate. Read More
