Introduction

This page describes the implementation details of each phase of the project.

Phase 1 - Configuration Dialog

• Should allow the user to set connection parameters (done)
• Settings should be persistent across sessions (done)
• Password should be saved using standard KDE infrastructure (done)
• Should be independently testable using a log file
  • log file in /tmp should show actions performed by the dialog

Phase 2 - Read-only Support

• Should connect to a standard CalDAV server
• Should be tested against DAViCal
• Display needs to update if there are changes on the server
• Bandwidth should be efficiently used:
  • Calendar data on the server can be quite large
  • Connector should intelligently cache data (maybe +/- 3 months from current date)
  • Cache should be cleansed periodically to not grow forever
  • Only changed or new events should be transmitted
  • Should support standard gzip encoding
• Disconnected operation should be supported

Phase 3 - Read-write Support

• Should connect to a standard CalDAV server
• Should be tested against DAViCal
• Changes in Kontact should propagate to the server
• Bandwidth should be efficiently used (please provide us more details)
• Collisions should be handled gracefully
• Disconnected operation should be supported
• Changes while disconnected should sync when re-connected
