added to Implementation details.

I divided the work into 5 tasks: # general layout # mail list # display mail # compose mail # folder (or whatever way we come up to browse the mail) We could do 4 of them working 3 weeks on each task with a qml mockup/prototype followed by the actual implementation. I can use the idle time (waiting for your feedback) during each mockup phase to do small tasks like porting a button or things like that. I am a little worried that the whole project is too much work for me in the given time. Like stated before "asking for a full rewrite of a mail application UI within a single GSOC is asking for a bit much". If I don't progress as expected we could skip one of the above tasks and instead focus on polishing the remaining three. Going completely crazy: The whole project looks a lot more achievable if I pick Tasks or Notes instead of Mail... But I guess we can't come up with a UX that will work across Kontact Touch as some problems will only show with complex applications like Mail ? reworked proposal: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qxWHUg-STYimYuqxMyPaD2gHiCDoI_m_YNa5mZkpU1Y/edit?usp=sharing I think we need to start earlier with the mockups for the general design as we wont have that much time during the GSoC period as I hoped. I will try to come up with some Pencil mockups next weeks so that we have a head start. cheers Mike
