I agree with everything you said. A few related things:
1. A bunch of Qt mobility-related packages are scattered around random repositories (like Applications:Geo). If we want to have plasma active integrated, it would probably be good to move all of these packages into KDE:Qt.
I'm not aware of these, what are they? Probably unrelated but I would like to get KFitness stabilised for my own usage (currently in KUP).
2. Also related to Plasma Active, trying to work with the PA team to use patches against upstream KDE in their .spec files rather than git pulls would make it easier to integrate.
Perhaps this is possible now that most PA changes have been merged, the delta to our packages should be smaller.
3. Figure out if telepathy is ready to be installed by default. This probably would depend on 4:
+1, good point!
4. Integrating ksecretservice. Is there any way to patch the cmake files to build this as part of kdelibs so we don't have the cyclic build dependency problem? Maybe ask upstream about this.
Details?
5. For activities, there was talk about using a variant of the Plasma Active activity manager, tuned slightly for desktop use. I forget who was planning on working on this, it might be worth contacting the plasma active team to see if they want help with this. Tuning PA widgets and containments for desktop use might be generally useful, but probably not essential (and may be too much work).
I was thinking of something along these lines, so that it is obvious which activity is becoming active.
6. QMLified plasmoids. There are a bunch of these that are available, but will not be integrated until KDE SC 4.9. These should be essentially done by openSUSE 12.2. It might be worth seeing if we can ship these as an additional package, like plasmoids-extra-qml or something. There may need to be some patches to avoid plasmoid name collisions.
+1
7. Menu-in-titlebar. I don't know the state of this. There are supposed to be patches for both Qt and Gnome to support this, but I don't know if they have been officially accepted upstream. If not we should make sure they are included, and offer the corresponding KDE window decoration as a package (although not the default IMHO).
The Qt stuff was merged to Qt 4.8 upstream.
8. There is some talk that lightDM might actually go somewhere. We should probably keep an eye on it and see whether it is worth packaging closer to the 12.2 release.
Yes, we should check with Alex Fiestas who is driving this at Kubuntu.
