There won't be a fully functional akonadi. There may not be a working kmail4.0 or a korganizer4.0, but even an extra 6-12months won't help the manpower issues in kdepim. I will announce on the kde-pim ML that have less than 4 weeks to get kdepimlibs and akonadi in much better shape. -Allen _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
