Nepomuk meeting: day 1 – Part II
At 4pm the meeting started, while people were coming in, we started an introduction round. It struck me that there are many different area’s people are working on, not only Amarok is present,but also people from Digikam, Dolphin, Telepathy, Raptor, etc. All seem to have different use cases for Nepomuk.
For example Raptor wants to keep track of how many times an applications has been started and when that was. This way they can probably adjust the menu to what you use most. Telepathy wants to use Nepomuk to keep track of your contacts, which are meta contacts and what way can they be reached. In the end you just want to say ‘I want to chat with my mother’, and it should simply find out if that’s possible. Really, the user does not really care of that happens via Jabber, MSN or -ftw- Skype. You do want an order in that of course ;-). You see, completely different use cases.
After the introduction round, I started hacking on Mailody. I’ve replaced the boring tag widget, with the widget which Dolphin uses. Apart from the requirement to svn cp the widgets and creating duplication, the task was pretty quickly done. I still need to fix some small issues, but I’ve time enought for that. So it’s now possible to rate emails and add comments to them. Next thing I want to do is a small popup when hovering over items, not sure I manage to do that this weekend.
I’m hungry, but I seem to be alone in that. We’ll go to the city Real Soon Now I hope.
One feature I love in KMail is, the way you can move messages and jump to folders.
-> Selecting the messages with the keyboard, Pressing “m” for move and then starting to type the folder name.
This is so convenient and no other e-mail client I know supports this in the same manner.
