Hey,

First of all: Thanks a lot, Dan, for your KScreen maintainership. I'll have 
big shoes to fill.

Yes, plans. On my list for the future direction:

- Wayland support (more or less done in libkscreen, currently working on the 
  KWin bits
- Kill libkscreen usage in plasmashell (Aleix has a patch, but it needs Qt 
  5.6, so until we can depend on that, we have to wait), in general, 
  libkscreen should not be used for just reading the screen configuration, for 
  that, there's QScreen
- Fix X11 multihead -- I see lots of grief from users, may have to look into 
  it more closely.

Help with all that is most welcome. I'm not going to run the show alone, but I 
agreed to coordinate the work on it.

Cheers,
