Thanks. Will be interesting to read subsequent reports.
well, here are some more impressions:
- kdepim is still not fully mature: distribution lists do not work (groups can be created nicely, but impossible to send mail to a group, deleting emails from my standard email account triggers arcane error messages from gmail ...) - searching in emails is nice, works 'as you type' due to nepomuk
as for Tim's thoughts about abandoning tde applications in favour of KDE4 apps, I think, this is not really an option ATM, as this would immediately pull in nearly the whole KDE4 stack just for calligra, e.g.. maybe this will become feasible with qt5/kde5, which will allow for much more selective dependencies than currently. so, my vote is clearly for keeping existing (fully functional, maybe feature-less) kde 3.5 applications alive and just abandon buggy cruft like kpilot. that will keep trinity as what it is today: the only lightweight, complete and consistent desktop, which runs flawless also on outdated hardware. (other WMs like razor-qt, E17.. are no real alternative, as they all lack a set of native applications)
