Do keep posting about the feedbacks or ask on about any feature. We have the mailing list at gnu-khata@googlegroups.com right now.
first feedback: The INSTALL document states:
<quote> to use postgresql for the first time there is a dedicated administrator account called postgres. This will be the user we will use for the database. We must set a password for that user. to change/ reset the password, sudo passwd postgres for ubuntu or just su passwd postgres for any other sudo less distro of gnu/linux and hit enter. enter the password ''gkadmin'' and re-type for confirmation. <endquote>
This is brain-dead!
Best is to just ask the user to have a database with the appropriate access details ready.
As it is, for a desktop app, it doesn't make sense to tell user to go configure a postgresql or even mysql database. Why not just use sqlite or mysql embedded instead?
Requirement of postgresql for a desktop app is just plain dumb, even for a fan such as myself.
Suddenly, the mysql embedded move by amarok and akonadi devs makes sense (if it didn't already).
