Good to hear that Plasma Active wants to showcase Calligra.
If the Calligra Mobile doesn't break the desktop compilation, I would love
to see it in tools directory. As Inge mentioned we can move it to other
directory when Core/UI separation is done.
I am ok with the "Calligra Active" name +1 from me. For Prefix, How about
CM<name> (CM - Calligra Mobile)
Br,
Mani

blog/planet about stuff I've been doing lately, so here's a little intro \
(again ;) ) -<br>
I started developing a QML UI for Calligra under a university project funded by Nokia \
this spring. As its been a QML learning experience for me, and integrating it with \
C++ hasn't been trivial, it took some time to get to a semi-working state. <br>
<br>While development of the QML UI is going on at a better pace than before, and is \
catching up with rest of Calligra, there was this cool initiative called Plasma \
Active [1] which attempts to bring KDE to a broader spectrum of devices, including \
handhelds, tablets etc. Its a proud moment for us that Plasma Active wants to \
showcase Calligra as a part of the first set of Active set of applications, and so \
its time to push our efforts to make Calligra shine.<br>
<br>I had some discussion with Inge over this (thanks Inge for the idea), and we \
concluded that the current Calligra Mobile (formerly known as Freoffice), is \
functional and robust, so it would not make sense to call the QML version as \
"Calligra Mobile" until it reaches that state. However, Plasma Active gives \
us a good opportunity, and there comes the idea of calling the QML UI as \
"Calligra Active". This is beneficial currently as we offer our users both \
the mature QWidget-based UI, and a shiny QML UI, and they can choose. <br>
<br>Finally, as most of the mobile platforms Active is targeting will be running a \
MeeGo variant, this will also help us to achieve goals summarised by Suresh at <a \
href="http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/calligra-devel/2011-January/000563.html" \
target="_blank">http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/calligra-devel/2011-January/000563.html</a>.<br>
<br>So, this mail is intended to -<br><br>1. Gather consensus to brand Calligra's \
QML UI as Calligra Active.<br>2. Move QML UI from my branch [2] to master, but we \
need to discuss where to? tools/active/ is one possible alternative, what do you \
think?<br>
3. Currently I'm not using any prefix for my classes. Any suggestions?<br><br>So, \
