Hi,

KDE Frameworks 5 gets more traction in the last months and perhaps we should plan \
ahead how we want to go the 5.x road.

We have a lot of "cleanups" and "fixups" listed for the KTextEditor interfaces we \
want to do for the 5.x release and until now I think we have no clear plan when to go \
for this.

I think Kate/KatePart are at the moment in a relative good state for the 4.x line and \
not that much stuff is missing that we actually need to implement in 4.x (beside \
perhaps some plugin enhancements or bugfixes).

Perhaps we should draft some small timeline for the future when we want to go to \
switch the main focus on porting + cleaning for 5.0.

We should coordinate a bit with the KDevelop guys, not sure how their plans for 5.x \
are, either.

I would propose for Kate, to create some "frameworks" branch in December, in which \
the idea is to

a) first get it compiling with KDE 5 Frameworks + Qt 5.2
b) then cleanup and fix the stuff in the interfaces

This "frameworks" branch would have no BC/SC requirements until we arrive in the 5.0 \
Beta phase I think.

"master" should stay KDE 4.x until the last 4.xx release is done and then we can \
switch that over.

All stuff that goes into master after the frameworks branch is there must be synced \
to frameworks by the people doing the change, there won't be an auto-merge by me or \
someone else I think.

This is just a bit brainstorming to kick this topic off, comments / changes are \
welcome :P

Greetings
Christoph
