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 :)

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.

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.
