MeeGo Input Methods IRC meeting, March 29th 2011

How can we simplify development and maintenance of input contexts?

Participants: Michael Hasselmann (Openismus), Jon Nordby (Openismus), Andy Ross (Windriver), Pekka Vuorela (Nokia), Gary Birkett (Collabora), Robin Burchell (Collabora)

The outcome of this meeting were the following tasks:

Task Assignee Status Details
Alternative for MInputMethodState n/a We need to provide a fully working alternative for MInputMethodState. And this would also fit with our plans to offer better support for plain Qt, QML, Qt Components (and GTK+ on MeeGo). We can decide to add the less important features (toolbar and keyboard customization) at a later point, for example.
Decide on where to put extended API n/a No agreement yet on whether it's better to provide needed API through signals/slots in inputcontext or whether it's better to provide a separate library (in MeeGo Input Methods itself). Andy Ross is supposed to kick off the discussion on the public ML (check next week).
Clean up D-Bus API Maksim Kirillov started We clean up the D-Bus API, instead of further abstraction. We will use native D-Bus types instead of (serialized) Qt datatypes.
Check QtDBus status in Qt 4.8 n/a Check QtDBus situation in 4.8 and switch to Qt's D-Bus interface, if possible. We need working P2P D-Bus.
Provide documentation for D-Bus API n/a Obvious. Currently no overview of its intent or how it actually works, only documentation on the methods itself.
