Hey, I am really excited about this!

A few questions:

Will this be developed in parallel to #Kontact, are the same devs working on it, is only the UI changing and background things kept the same? Will it replace Kontact some time, swapping out, or getting the name?
Is #CalDAV support possible currently, in the past or planned? It is a major dealbreaker for me currently.
Are CalDAV features supported by #DAVx5 planned? Like journals?
The #Flatpak is kinda bundled in the “Kontact” Flatpak. Will this change?

@boredsquirrel @kde 1. While some devs (like me) works on both Kontact and Merkuro devs, other are only working on one of them. I don’t see Kontact disappearing anytime soon.

CalDAV is definitively supported
Journals works in KOrganizer. It’s quite unlikely I will add that to Merkuro mail any time soon as I have no real use for them and I don’t want to makes the UI more complex.

That’s good, I like the classic KDE apps

Thanks! And does Merkuro use the same backend things as the older Kontact suite?

And if CalDAV is supported, where is it added? On Fedora Kinoite I have no support, only Nextcloud etc. I woule file a bug at the correct place.

@boredsquirrel Yes Merkuro uses the same backend. And we (Merkuro dev) are contributing to improve it which benefit all the Kontact users.
