The documentation talks about the "Qt PIM" module, which is confusing.
This guide should be written as a high-level tutorial on Personal
Infomation Management and on these related modules, but the collection
should not be explained as a module, because it doesn't work like a module
in the code or in the .pro files etc. I created
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-24902

Qt PIM is not part of the alpha. It's not an essential.

Is Phonon going to be a part of the Alpha release? If it is, it should
probably be called "Phonon" rather than Qt Phonon.

No, Phonon is not part of the alpha since it got no activity during the Qt 5
time. Just like ActiveQt, it compiles but since no one is doing anything on
them, we decided we cannot release them until someone steps up to check that
they actually work and decide what their future will be.

Other modules were excluded from the second alpha package because they don't
compile on the reference platforms.

The modules which we will ignore for the Alpha are:

  *   Qtactiveqt
  *   Phonon
  *   QtTranslations
  *   Qlalr
  *   QtQa
  *   QtFeedback
  *   QtDocGallery
  *   QtPim
  *   QtConnectivity
  *   QtJsonDb
  *   RepoTools
  *   (QtSensors was also on the list, but it turns out QtWebKit has it as a hard dependency, so it's going back in)
