BasKet is the note taking KDE project a bit similar to maybe Microsoft OneNote. It worked well enough in KDE3 but KDE4 development seems to have stalled or dropped off completely by now. I'm curious to see Brainstorm vote to gauge interest how many would like to see this project continued and ported to KDE4.

http://basket.kde.org

For me the KDE4-version works.

For me the KDE4-version works.

But it is buggy

BTW if you searching for crossplatform solution you can look at Basqet.

So don't say "port" but "improve". (there are still a lot of unimplemented plans)
I think Basket is crossplatform. (gpgme, kdelibs and kdepimlibs work on Windows)

You're idea is invalid as it's to vague. BasKet is being ported to KDE4 as we speak, but maybe bot as fast as you'd wanted. And Improve BasKet without some more thought-out idea what should improved is not an idea.
Sorry, if you know how BasKet could be improved post a new idea regarding it.

Well I have no problem marking this invalid; it's your forum. The secondary purpose was to gauge support through the voting (presumably why the voting here exists), helpful to both developers and non-developers.

Porting from the old to new KDE4 libraries is an improvement (file dialogs and theming capability come immediately to mind), and 1-to-1 code refactoring is certainly not vague, but if the general principle falls too much out of line with traditional Brainstorm convention or whatever else, then so be it.

@The User, I don't have as much luck with that build; items are all invisible. I'd also personally rather favor a functional straight port improvement first, then handling unimplemented future improvement plans later. Actually now that K3B finally made it to KDE4, BasKet is the last remaining app on my main desktop requiring KDE3 dependencies (and why I prefer functionality first and extras later).

@SeaJay thanks very much for Basqet! I will definitely take a look at it.

How would you have to do if you were to make a valid feature request about focusing basket KDE4 development? How specific would it have to be?

Would something like "Focus on a stable version of Basket for KDE SC 4.5" be specific enough? The crux with this is that Basket already has a development roadmap, it just doesn't have enough developers (as I understand it). So what's the best way to tell KDE to put resources into Basket?

Also, is there any easier way for installing a build other than going through git?

For kubuntu there is a PPA
