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 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/

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.
