Hiya! I'm interested in Basket Note Pads development. So I've read visited the site, read some mails, checked out the source, run sloccount just to get an overview.
I think everybody needs some kind of self organization. Basket is one of the best things I found for this. You can create TODOs, manage your projects, store some information you always need but always forget etc...you can see it as an abstraction of a file system since you can attach links to files/folders/programs/websites etc... I used Basket in KDE3 a lot, but then with KDE4 the kde3 version of basket just didn't "feel" right. So I was without basket, a really loo..ooo...oong time (and because of this, I wasn't really good organised). At work I was confronted with an windows environment and I felt quite helpless - heck, what are windows user using? After trying some programs, I finally came across MS OneNote - which has some similarities with basket (or Basket has similarities with OneNote). Well, OneNote ist really good, and it would be fantastic to have an free alternative that is, in some points, even better, hm? :) So that's why I'm here: - I want to use the KDE4 Version of Basket! (with all the features I used) - I also want to use Basket on Windows! As I said, I've tried to get an overview of the current state. Here are my observations. Please comment/correct me! (And it would be awesome to have all these information on some site, even better: a wiki! See below). Observations: -1) Kelvie Wong <[email protected]> is the current maintainer. 0) --- Basket 2.0 Beta seems to be on the way! ---------------------- Tracking bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=release-basket-1.80 1) --- Website ------------------------------------------------------ The Website is totally out of date, but Doruk Fisek <[email protected]> seems to work on this: http://zzz.fisek.com.tr/files/basket-website/ Is this roadmap/vision http://basket.kde.org/version2.php still the goal? (in the longer term) Maybe a wiki would make more sense, so every developer can contribute to the site? See also below. 2) --- Repository --------------------------------------------------- Basket uses git. Does the following URLs point to the same repository? (how to find out?) git://github.com/kelvie/basket.git (from current outdated site) git://gitorious.org/basket/basket.git (from Doruks updated site) 3) --- Source ------------------------------------------------------- sloccount output: """ Total Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 28,642 Development Effort Estimate, Person-Years (Person-Months) = 6.77 (81.30) (Basic COCOMO model, Person-Months = 2.4 * (KSLOC**1.05)) Total Estimated Cost to Develop = $ 915,156 (average salary = $56,286/year, overhead = 2.40). """ output of 'grep TODO -R . | wc -l': 157 output of 'grep FIXME -R . | wc -l': 60 In CMakeLists.txt: the qt3 support library is still needed - what's the state of the porting process? What are further "internal" goals? 4) --- Bugtracker --------------------------------------------------- https://www.lynoure.net/basket/mantis/my_view_page.php Only little activity (5 issues in this year). Seems to be full of spam. Any plans concerning this? 5) --- Reviewboard? ------------------------------------------------- Not found. 6) --- Wiki --------------------------------------------------------- Not found. But wait, there existed http://basket.openusability.org/ (dead link now). You can access (very slow!) some sites of it through archive.org. So what happened with this? As I remember, there were some really cool ideas described. Any plans to setup a wiki again (maybe as replacement for the site, so every developer can easily change/update stuff)? The Mailing-List is the only communication platform so far, right? Maybe we could create a page for basket at http://techbase.kde.org/Projects (I would ask and create one...). I could also install a wiki on my personal webspace... 8) --- Basket on Windows -------------------------------------------- There is some activity from David <[email protected]>. 9) --- Basket at other sites ---------------------------------------- KDE-APPS.ORG: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=10020 Is this in control? FRESHMEAT.NET: http://freshmeat.net/projects/basket This is not in the current maintainers/developers control. Matt Rogers <[email protected]> asked for the account, no reply so far. Any other sites? 10) --- Integration into the KDE infrastructure? --------------------- Should Basket be part of the official kde distribution? Using kde's bugtracker, wiki, review board, ...?! 11) --- User documentation ------------------------------------------- Menu -> Baket Note Pads Handbook There is just a skeleton.
