Late in the F36 cycle, a number of issues we found in gnome-calendar - see #304. They were:
It would be good for the working group to conduct its own evaluation of gnome-calendar - we should test it and keep a record of any issues we encounter, and then have a conversation in the context of #304:
Metadata Update from @aday: - Issue set to the milestone: Fedora 37
Metadata Update from @aday: - Issue tagged with: qa
Metadata Update from @catanzaro: - Issue assigned to catanzaro
Are you planning on conducting a review, @catanzaro ?
I reported a few other issues upstream.
I'll venture some answers for the proposed questions:
What are our quality expectations for the app?
The app should pass a basic functionality test.
Does the app meet our quality expectations?
No. Based on the issues we've identified above, basic functionality is broken.
What kind of issues should be classified as release blocking?
Basic functionality issues: things that users are likely to notice quickly after casual use of the application. Many of the issues we've identified are basic functionality issues.
Is there anything that can be done to increase quality?
Not without budget.
Status of the three issues that originally prompted this ticket:
Impressions after playing around with the app for a few minutes:
We discussed this issue at today's WG meeting.
It seems like there are probably a small number of bad issues currently. The situation isn't so bad that we feel that the app should be removed from the preinstalled app set immediately, but if things haven't improved for F38 we might want to reconsider.

One of the Contacts blockers we had last release has been accepted as a blocker for F37:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2111003
@kparal did some testing on Contacts for the F38 test week, and reported the following issues:
These all seem to be design issues around how multiple address books are presented in the UI. I'll see if I can take a look at them for F39.
Metadata Update from @aday: - Issue set to the milestone: None (was: Fedora 38)
Unfortunately none of the aforementioned issues have been fixed. It looks like development of Contacts has mostly stalled.
However, the good news is the quality isn't so bad that I think we need to remove it. Upstream is taking a wait-and-see approach where Contacts is on the list of apps that might or might not be removed from core in the future, basically acknowledging that the situation is not ideal, but also not so bad that the app needs to be removed in the short term.
I'm tempted to close this issue and accept the status quo for now, while waiting for the situation to change upstream. @aday what do you think?
