Hi, Earlier this week I've got the request to make my calendar components available that where made earlier this year in the KDE pim sprint.
It is in a scratch repository right now [1] but i have to warn you. There are quite a couple of things missing! * It's still QMake based * It still depends on akonadi git (4.11) and kdepimlibs git (4.11). The 4.10 version misses some headers that are only made available since 4.11. * The QML example [2] works, but is also far from "workable" * It completely misses the holidays since those are still some "special" beast that i've never looked at after the sprint. The intention was to get the holidays into a real calendar (instead of a library like it's now) and to give that task to someone at the current GSoC. I don't know how that progress is going or if anyone is doing this at all. * the components (Calendar and CalendarData) are still part of this project [1] and not separated in clean usable QML plugins. It's easy to do so though. * it still contains some debug output. No wonder for in development code like this ;) If people are going to work on this, make it better (or worse), please send the patches to me for the [1] repository. I'd like to keep it updated as much as possible. One thing that is slightly amazing is that there is actual QML component documentation [3]. For the future, these QML components should be made available under "org.kde.pim.calendar" but in which repository should i place then? kdepim-runtime or kde-runtime? Then i'm guessing those components will be publicly usable in kde 4.12. Provided i put some more work in them obviously. The plan for the more distant future is to extend the current component set with edit and create functionality through new components. So yes, that means making new calendar events right from QML is going to be possible. But how that should be done and what the new component names for that will be is still completely open. Any ideas on the least intrusive way (for akonadi) are very welcome.
