The resulting files will be made available on share.kde.org. If there are things which need to be resolved prior to the shutdown of notes.kde.org we can look into those. While it is unfortunate that the links will be broken, we should be able to make them relatively close (ie. send the user to a public view of the folder on share.kde.org which contains all of the content exported from notes.kde.org) so the user isn't too far from the original link. In terms of feature regressions i'm tracking, I see the following: - Lack of editor highlighting - No stored history aside from Nextcloud versioning - Slightly harder to create new documents Any other comments on this which I missed from the document?

Retirement of notes.kde.org
Good evening all, Currently we're in the situation where the software we use to run notes.kde.org is both difficult to maintain, as well as support (for things like document confidentiality for various groups within KDE). We'd therefore like to retire the service, replacing it with the Realtime Text Editor within Nextcloud (share.kde.org). Internally this editor uses Markdown. You can find a demo of this at https://share.kde.org/s/gtFcRmwetRKqTZJ (no login required) It would be appreciated if everyone could please test the realtime text editor and let us know if they encounter any issues. In terms of feature differences, we are aware that highlighting/authorship information won't be retained by the new editor, and there can occasionally be problems when editing the same line with someone else simultaneously. If everyone is okay with this we'd like to go ahead with shutting down notes.kde.org as soon as possible. Thanks, Ben Cooksley KDE Sysadmin
KF6 Sprint
Hi, as you might have seen in David's summary of the KF6 BoF at Akademy (https:// mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-frameworks-devel/2019-September/093298.html), there's the idea to have a KF6 sprint, along the lines of the KF5 sprint we had in Randa a few years back, to determine what we actually want to achieve with KF6 beyond just porting to Qt6. If you are interested please subscribe to https://phabricator.kde.org/T11535 and indicate your interest to participate, as well as times that would work for you. I'm not just looking at the current KF5 contributors for this, but also those of you heavily using KF5. If you are willing to help organize the sprint, please indicate so there too, help with that would be greatly appreciated (I'm not organizing this, I'm just writing this email because Albert asked me too ;-) ). With Qt 6 planned for Nov 2020 we are probably looking at a 18-24 month time frame towards KF6, so it's time to get this going.
