all applets with standard background, most of the ones without background 
(notes out of the box, then i fixed analog clock), that are really rare, btw

basically done.
title is always shown, buttons on mouse over, will have to be another thing 
that change automatically when the input method becomes a touchscreen

now dragging the title drags the view around. i thinkn is the most intuitive 
behaviour, if it would relayout and drag the applets it could trigger too many 
accidental messing around i think

i think a single applet is the best way, it makes a single "tiny titlebar" 
concept
maybe keeping the trigger corner for the effect at left and the applet at 
right won't be terrible...

yeah, i think it would make sense a button that opens in a tiny horizontal 
strip always in the opposite position from the panel.
kinda low urgency, i think will be in 4.4 if there will be time, but if it's 
going to be 4.5 not huge deal

those two things (close window and show windows) could be separate?

a "tabbed browser" approach might also work where each running app appears as 
a tab entry at the top next to newspaper and search; but then we run into the 
usual task bar space issues. hm.. no, pretend i never said that ;)

makes sense. were also going to want to do a custom toolbox eventually i 
think. the current one is functional but doesn't really work with the layout.

i think so. that's easy and clean.

ah, yes. what i meant is that the handles should make the widgets "jiggle 
around" Inside the layout (like the notifications icon in the systray used to 
do to the panel)

that should work with any well behaved applet (which would be the overwhelming

and yes, putting the handle as a child of the applet marked as "stack under" 
really seems to be a good way to do this.

idea for the applet handles:
altering the contentsmargins of the applets to put them inside the standard 
background of the applet if there is one, otherwise draw a little background 
for its own

wonder if it would be reliable enough but would be quite pretty

just to have the close window button in the same position in upper right 
corner as normal windows, but i don't tink is a really important thing, and 
since the present windows is triggered at the upper left corner it could make 
sense to leave the button that triggers the same effect near to it

so leave just the search field in the middle of the sal? (and focus it as soon 
as the sal containment is activated)

perhaps if i make the handles childs of the applet, yeah

to do some things:
-button to close the applet,
-button to launch the associated application (done exactly to be there in the 
first place :))
-move the applet also when not in configure mode and plasma is not locked?
-a title (but perhaps just the applet name is not explanatory enough?)

yes, and for the panel behaviour and size too

yes, could be nice.
igoogle has also a maximize button that resize the applet to be mostly full 
screen..., perhaps is what we have with the associated applications?

search field probably not needed now? (see below)

(and you're missing clock there, no?)

also, in systray there is: battery, networking, .. ?

swap position you mean? if so, why?

this could also be in the newspaper page itself to save space in the 
activitybar?

i like the current behaviour for the default..

i don't think a separate applet for this is needed at all now, tbh. and if 
it's always in the panel, then we don't need the separate icon in the panel 
either. just focus the line edit when switching to it.
 
> *Newspaper

why would applet handles like be simpler? i'd think that always-there handles 
would be easier.

what are the design goals for the handles?

* provide access to close, maximize and configure. do we want a way to 
collapse an applet too? that's probably not strictly necessary.

* finger friendly? (this may make it significantly harder to keep the spacing 
nice; perhaps there could be a size adjustment based on whether it's on a 
touch screen or not?)

* widgets shouldn't move around whether the handle is visible or not

* should hide when not hovered or selected? perhaps the handles can always be 
there and only the control buttons fade in when a widget is hovered? 
interesting to see how http://www.google.com/ig does it, too.

not really; they can be added to the layout if they exist, though.

looking at those choices, it would seem that the main layout is for checking 
the weather and using opendesktop. is that what people will do with this on a 
netbook?

it seems that the idea is "current events information" (e.g. weather) and 
"social networking" (e.g. open desktop). perhaps the left column can be one 
and the right column the other, an perhaps we can have something more than 
just weather for current events?

identi.ca might be a nice add to the social networking side and some RSS feeds 
might be a nice add to the current events column?

uh, forgotten quite important topic:
we agreed that as the default stuff in the newspaper could be good news, 
weather, opendesktop  and opendesktop knowledgebase
all of them are in kdeplasma-addons: is a acceptable dependency? :/

little synopsys, topics were mostly what we more urgently need for 4.4:
*Panel:
  -default applets: now there are  current window control, activitybar, 
spacer, systray, search field for sal
  - i would swap current window control and the search field
  - connected to the ability to have multiple "pages" (just tought about it 
now) a button after activitybar that creates a new newspaper activity
  - other thing not touched there but to be decided: panel autohide or not?
  - search field for sal: since the sal has a search field by itself i would 
do:
 -make it no longer a popupapplet so i can access the dialog geometry
 -make the dialog be exactly superimposed to the sal internel search field 
to make it feel they are the "same thing"

*Newspaper
  -titles: on mouse over like applet handles or always there? (applet handles 
like would be waay simpler code, less clobbering with layouts)

in the end being aaron and nuno-less there wasn't much going on, however me 
and arthur chatted a bit about the various parts for a bit, here is the 
unfiltered log that can at least make a recap of the topics if we can make a 
"good one" :)

[19:04]  notmart, MoRpHeUz me and Savago are talking about a personal 
layout .. using akonadi(akonadi dataengine maybe)
[19:04]  tumaix, just FISL. But it was great. Meet with lots of former 
co-workers there. :-)
[19:05]  igorto, MoRpHeUz: the social activity thing?
[19:05]  igorto: ?
[19:05]  notmart: I don't think it's the same thing hehe
[19:05]  ah, ok
[19:06]  notmart: I was thinking more about OCS and Silk, but yeah, 
for other "contact" stuff we should use akonadi for sure
[19:06]  notmart, no ... a layout for contacts(vcard), notes, todos, 
with google synchronization and these things
[19:06]  MoRpHeUz: that's looks like just a default applets layout, 
really
[19:06]  yep. The good thing is that all this stuff is already done by 
akonadi (protocols, data formats, etc).
[19:06]  notmart: I really don't care about the layout of the 
stuffcan be newspaper, default applets layout, etc...
[19:07]  for silk, i wanted to do a mini-selkie plasmoid that opens 
the full selkie..
[19:07]  notmart: I'm more interested about the *contents* of the 
thing hehe
[19:07]  MoRpHeUz, what were you planning for the *contents*?
[19:07]  MoRpHeUz: so the question becomes: do we already have all 
the plasmoids we need?
[19:08]  for default layout i was meaning, what sets of plasmoid 
should be loaded by default
[19:08]  notmart: that's one problem, I think that right now the 
number of "default plamoids" that we should have are growing, and that's why a 
separate activity would be needed
[19:09]  (imagine a scenario with 15 contact plasmoids)
[19:09]  Savago: something like what you said above, but not 
centered on akonadi stuff
[19:09]  something more like what moblin provides
[19:09]  (and open desktop widget)
[19:09]  MoRpHeUz: yes, but also keep in mind that having an awful 
load of stuff loaded by default makes the memory footprint pretty big
[19:10]  and if it is the user that adds stuff is ok, but there 
shouldn't be the impression that as default is really bloated
[19:10]  MoRpHeUz, I see.
[19:10] * pinheiro nost sure i like a big page of plasmoids or several pages
[19:11]  we should also have a way to add/remove pages that possibly 
isn't the zui there..
[19:11]  notmart: yep, I'm talking about the user adding stuff 
(after all, it's the users contacts)
[19:12]  notmart: so, as pinheiro pointed out it's a matter of 
having a big page of plasmoids or several pages...
[19:12] <-- fawek has left this server (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by 
peer)).
[19:12]  notmart: maybe scrolingn trough pages is more interesting 
than the zui here
[19:12]  more phinger friendly
[19:13]  what i'm more concerned for this meeting however, is to 
really have clear in mind what is a must have for 4.4 and must be rushed in 
quickly :D
[19:13]  and as space manegemenat is simpler for the user
[19:13]  pinheiro: a single long page that scrolls?
[19:14]  notmart: no several pages
[19:14]  that you can push
[19:14]  slide
[19:14]  like desktops
[19:14] <-- nhnFreespirit has left this server (Read error: 110 (Connection 
timed out)).
[19:15]  notmart: well, for 4.4 I think that having what we 
currently have but really stable and a way to easily switch between netbook 
and desktop shells
[19:15]  it would be ok for the "first release"
[19:15] * pinheiro agfreas
[19:16]  agreas
[19:16]  notmart: and then the social stuff for later, to really 
improve the user experience...
[19:16]  the sliding animation could be a problem since we aren't 
sure the pages on the scene are in the right order..
[19:16] * pinheiro off be back much later good luck guys
[19:16]  but i can think about several hacks to do that
[19:17]  MoRpHeUz: so let's start about what plasmoids we want in the 
panel in what order and in the newspaper by default?
[19:17]  notmart: ah, it would be nice to have

depends on what time in the morning. 10am UTC is 1am for me here, and even 
worse (3am) for people on the other side of the Americas, such as Artur.

so it would either have to be early UTC (7am?) and Artur and I would have to 
be up and around late on a Friday evening or going back to evening makes more 
sense.

+1...Bonus points if it's not today because I'm in a meeting for the whole 
day.. =(

I'll also talk about plasma-netbook on Latinoware and I have some ideas to show 
off our stuff :) (like remote widgets between desktop and the netbook...or even 
an n900 ? ;) )
