Hi, I've just moved the akonadi dataengine into kdereview so we can release it with KDE 4.3 -- if you guys deem it good enough. Its current functionality includes fetching contacts, emails and microblogging from Akonadi, including monitoring for changes (happens transparantly via setData()).

Completely agree on that...Same for OpenSuse 11.1 they ship Aya by default, first thing i do (when it's not my own build), get rid of the ugly default. Please listen users (and sometime just ask them what they want or what are their habits) They want NEW stuff not a KDE3-like theme. What i still

I can understand the branding though, otherwise you can't differentiate a distrib A to a distrib B. But is it really what the end user want? no, he just want something that works, cool, new, and beautiful. I have also many friends asking how to remove the opensuse logo and instead use KDE one for
