ĭuring the construction of the Kontact application suite, the Kolab groupware server was being worked on by Erfrakon, and Klarälvdalens Datakonsult simultaneously and was completed at approximately the same time. The KMail and container application changes were imported into the KDE source repository, and Kontact was released as part of KDE 3.2. He then integrated the mail client component with the other components, and the groupware container application, assembled and released the initial Kontact packages, and created the initial Kontact website.ĭaniel Molkentin, Cornelius Schumacher and Don Sanders then formed the core Kontact team.
However, Cornelius' groundbreaking work acted as a prototype for other developers to base their efforts on.ĭon Sanders created the missing mail client component by modifying the KMail application. At this stage no mail client component existed, so KDE still lacked a functional integrated groupware application. He modified the KAddressBook and KOrganizer applications to create the initial address book and organizer components. The first embedded components were created by Cornelius Schumacher. This container application is essential for Kontact to operate, but without embedded components it is not useful by itself. The initial groupware container application was written in an afternoon by Matthias Hölzer-Klüpfel and later imported into the KDE source repository and maintained by Daniel Molkentin. KDE mascot Konqi and KDE mail applications These days many popular Linux distributions such as Kubuntu hide the individual applications and only place Kontact prominently. In popular terms, however, Kontact often refers to the whole set of KDE PIM applications. KDE PIM refers to a work group within the larger KDE project that develops the individual applications in a coordinated way. Technically speaking, Kontact only refers to a small umbrella application that unifies different stand-alone applications under one user interface. Differences between "Kontact" and "KDE PIM" It offers a number of inter-changeable graphical UIs (KMail, KAddressBook, Akregator, etc.) all built on top of a common core. It supports calendars, contacts, notes, to-do lists, news, and email.
