Hi Gleb,
I'm certainly interested in assisting to finish the port. Syncing up with the
current library versions seems like the obvious first step. A few things about
me:
- Software developer for 21 years, mostly web (Java/C#/PHP/RoR) but did some
work in the early 2000s in C++/C making standalone build tools and binaries for
an enterprise solution.
- Knowledge of Qt probably isn't optimal to be relied heavily upon, but I have
a strong desire to learn. I'm very interested in giving back to the KDE
community that has provided me with a desktop environment for more than 15
years.
- I use Basket on a daily basis to organize my research plans for projects, to
organize myself (not an easy thing to do) and to keep track of development
dependencies in my own projects.
I have cloned the branch on Github but I was having a hard time getting it to
build using QtCreator; quazip headers were not in the include path. Any idea
on how to resolve this? Once I can get it built, it's likely that I'll be
fixing bugs in the current port prior to lending assistance with the remainder
of the move to Qt5 as I believe that will provide the best experience to start.
Let me know if you believe I can be useful to you given my experience and I'll
be able to put roughly 15 - 20 hours of work per week on this project until
it's stable.
I look forward to working with you!
