Hey RobertMe! I was worried you'd jumped ship...

But as you're hosting on GitHub, and thus are using Git, and RockWork is hosted on Launchpad and using Bazaar you can't just pull in changes from one another.
What I have right now is nowhere near ready for integration, but as there's lots of different things to do and a big need for this then I thought it would be better to share it early so we can all get it working. Then I'll merge a minimal set of changes with Rockwork, and we'll be there. This gives me more flexibility to mess around without impacting Rockwork, which is now quite stable.

I've been occasionally updating the Rockwork base already. It's very well separated into platform and generic lib, so it's not difficult. I've got a parallel branch that I keep on vanilla rockwork and merge. These things are a lot less trouble with Git, after all.

And the same goes for call handling, which I've got operational too (so I might be able to fix the crasher there).
Ace. I think I'm not far off with the call handling. How have you got the calls working? I tried with TelepathyQt like they had, but it seemed to be empty just like QOrganizer. I brought VoiceCallManager over from pebbled, which is the source of the crashing, but there might be a better way. We might have more libs available than pebbled did - Quazip was previously static, but I switched that to a dependency.

The calendar stuff would be great, thanks!

I connected it up to the notifications, but in a simpler way than pebbled, using the transient property to filter the wrong ones out. Fetching the message individually would be better though, especially to get it in the right place in the timeline. I did notification actions, but I think dismiss should be possible both ways?
