What do you think of Kontact the new PIM in KDE 3.2?
KDE 3.2 is comming and it brings
Kontact with it. "An integrated personal information suite container application for KDE".
I've tried the beta version of KDE3.2 and experimented Kontact. As I was a little disapointed, I was wondering what do you think about Kontact.
i would like to check it out, but i dont get KDE3.2 running

In a world without fences, who need Gates?
I used
Konstruct to compile KDE 3.1.93 (aka as KDE 3.2 beta 1) from scratch.
It takes a while if you want everything but you can choose "base + PIM" or any other combination.
There are already some binary packages for SuSE, Conectiva and Slackware (contrib) at
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/3.1.93/

I would really like to know why you where disapointed. What where the points that you missed?
Maybe I was expecting Kontact to definitly replace all other PIM programs. They wouldn't be there anymore. Just Kontact.
When I used Kontact It seamed to me that it is was only a kind of frontend to all the apps that already exist. It gives you a place were you can access notes mail or organizer with a few clicks and as an excuse is shows some information in it. I was specially annoyed with the notes part. I just don't want to have KNotes in the tray. I want Kontact to manage my notes so I spent 10 minutes just killing KNotes in tray and trying to add a note without making it appear again.
I used Kontact no more than a hour, so I may have missed something great in it.
Unfortunately I dont have a strong enough machine which i can dedicate to testing KDE 3.2a... I cant risk messing up my configuration atm, it runs nicely and this doesnt happen very often
.
Additionally, stupid australian telcos, i dont have enough bandwidth to download the entire DE....

Fortunately this isn't going to happen.
