As far as I know the current plan is to integrate this with nautilus. Calum Benson is the person to talk to, he is GNOME UI designer :). Erwann Chenede is working away on a prototype that Lin Ma and Henry. May be Calum can send out some mockup UI to that mailing list or here :) So that the interested KDE hackers or your self can touch based.

Do you know of any particular KDE hackers who might be working in this area? I think should project develop, it will be one that crosses Dtrace, Desktop and Developer Tools communities.
