From Calculator to Calendar: Switching Core Apps

Hello,

Joined the Ubuntu Calendar Developers team today. With Calculator in a stable place, I wanted to pick up something with more open ground, and Calendar has plenty — the blueprint for it has barely gotten past the display-event view, and the edit flow is still mostly unbuilt.

It’s a different kind of work than Calculator. That was bug triage on something that mostly worked; this is building event creation, editing, and recurrence from a design spec that’s still being argued over in the #ubuntu-app-devel channel on Freenode. Expecting a lot more time in QML and Autopilot tests than I was spending before, and a lot more time in IRC hashing out UI decisions before anything gets built.

Good change though — I’d rather be building something from a half-finished spec than polishing something that’s basically done.
