        We should come up with a plan for how we want the code
        structured in the long
        run. We've come a long way already, but we should discuss what
        further things
        we can do.

    Long-term I would like to make it easy to extend Calligra Active with
    editing capabilities. That means our libraries and the functionality
    provided by Words can be reused for other UI's like the QML-based
    Active-UI, an alternate desktop-UI (think of a kids interface or an
    interface specialized on other use-cases or an interface for different
    form factors or one for star trek fans or whatever crazy and/or
    innovative things a developer likes to do build up with our
    frameworks).

        KoTextEditor hacking
        ---------------------------
        I'd like a hacking session where we start extending the
        functionality of
        KoTextEditor.

    What is the goal? I mean what exactly do we like to change/extend
    in what direction? I ask cause that is not clear to me if it comes to
    the concrete code. Maybe it's not defined yet what will be part of
    the sprint-session?


The above two points are on the agenda of the sprint in our brainstorm session about textshape/textlayout/kotext architecture.
Great to read :-)

    I btw will not attend the sprint but I can participate online :)

Arf, it's too bad you can't be here. It would be real good if there could be a way to have you live at least with sound (both directions), ideally with video (at least from us to you).
I've a working Skype-setup so that shouldn't be a problem. Ideally we could record/broadcast so others could participate/inform themselfs too but I am not sure what Software to use for that :-/

        Changetracking
        --------------------
        I'd like a brainstorm on how we proceed on change tracking.
        The current state
        leaves much to be desired.

    Identify problems and put them into bugzilla? But yes, that will not
    magically fix them. At least it would be a start and provide more
    details what exactly still leaves much to be desired.

Well, there are bugs/fundamental design restrictions (mostly related to deleted stuff) and there is the odf1.1/1.2 tiny difference in spec.
Ah, interesting to know. That means that the sponsored work on getting change-tracking into Calligra brings fruits on the table cause it identifies points of weakness. A nice example why standards should be implemented in an open and libre community.
