After all that I've read, here and elsewhere, I still don't have the
confidence to "go for it", and that's a great pity. It's also embarrassing
when I try to do user support and I'm not using 4.6. There is a real need for
some public relations work. Here's what I'd like to see:
We need a UserBase page (I'll help in any way I can) that sets out at least -
a) What happens to the old-style date
b) Where the akonadi-controlled data will be kept
then
c) Known issues - stressing that you may not meet any of them - together with
strategies for coping with them.
d) The comfort factor - telling what needs to be done if, in the worst case, a
user needs to get back to the 4.4 series. I remember Kevin Krammer (I'm
almost sure it was) saying that this would be no problem.
This last 6 months I've seen a real decline in confidence that 4.6 is ever
going to be usable. Let's take some steps to minimise the possibility of real
problems, then we can go for it :-) A lot of people truly want it to succeed,
and are held back by the fear factor.
If anyone is willing to work with me, say on an etherpad, for a couple of
hours, please contact me off-list or on #kde-www.
