Thanks for the info. It looks like there seems to be at least a moderate if not high demand for trinity-desktop. KDE4, Gnome 3 and Unity must have caused a lot of resentment. It is actually sad, considering all the voluntary work hours spent on those window managers, and the lost potential.
My biggest personal disappointments actually are KDEPIM, akonadi, nepomuk trio, along with amarok. I am hoping to experience a back-to-home feeling with trinity desktop on these fronts.
Regards,
Hakan

To the guy who is having trouble with his Trinity installation. From what I've gathered on IRC and a post on the announcements mailing list it seems that the mirrors haven't synced up. The issue seems to be related to Tim's connection troubles around the time of release. The server was also (I believe?) brought down to all the traffic gained from slashdot. I'm not entirely sure on this, since I'm just someone on the same boat as you.
I did get around that specific problem by finding a different mirror though, and downloading the .repo file from mangafrance: http://trinity.mangafrance.com/f15/ but it's pointless because since the mirrors haven't synced fully (From what I've gathered, I'm not sure?) you'll get too many missing dependencies to install anything.
It's hilarious since I Jumped to Fedora 15 the moment I saw trinity was available for it. Which is pretty funny! lol

so welcome back home, Hakan :) (I can can confirm it feels just like that...). unfortunately, 3.5.13 has had a rather bumpy start, I hope the problems will be solved soon, so all who are recently aware of trinity dont get disappointed. (this trinity release has obviously got much more attention than earlier ones, as one can read all over the usual OSS information channles).

My first impression is just like that, too. Especially when I experienced the speed :).

It is probably too early to ask this, but is there any existing or planned solution to interface with google contacts and calendar from Kontact? I use Mandriva and I know I had to install a package to make this happen for akonadi (KDE4), but is it possible with trinity desktop, since there is no akonadi involved?

not that I would know of, too many things still to be done more urgently, IMHO.

well, there is a google-akonadi ressource extension, I tried this once and it worked more or less, but seems to break from time to time, or have only limited capabilities, though. what I do here with trinity, is sync my std.vcf via Dropbox. that means, my ~/.trinity/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf is a symlink to the real file in my dropbox folder. this way I can access my contacts from anywhere, on any device. keeping this in sync with e.g. google contacts requires manual import/export, though. not exactly elegant, but worksforme :) werner

That is a good option to consider I think. Perhaps I can point to my google calendar web link too, as a read-only resource, and call it a day :).
Thanks Werner for the idea.

Tim did a huge amount of work for us to enable caldav and cardav support in Kontact. In our case, it was for Zimbra integration. Will that work for you? - John

Thank you very much for your email. Well, I have spent so much time to arrange my contacts in gmail, which I have access with my cell phone. Same thing applies to the google calendar too, therefore I am hesitant to switch to anything else at the moment. I tried accessing google calendar several times via TDE/Kontact yesterday. The final error message I got, after several refinements/tries, was complaining about a TLS message received from server with an inappropriate length. Google calendar caldav setup for apple and thunderbird documentation emphasizes using kerberos V protocol for authentication, I wonder if not having that option available in Kontact caused this problem. There doesn't seem to be any existing solution for contacts yet, though. Even when I export my contacts in gmail, the pictures don't get exported, which I don't like.
