One thing that I'd really like to see, and which would boost the usefulness of Plasmate is a remote installer, so that you can push a button which copies your plasmoid package onto a device running Plasma (Active) and runs it, so you can try it on a touch screen. That could be done with scp, for example. There's another thing which is fairly confusing right now but very basic and expected by every developer: a debugging console, basically a way to see what the "print()" statements in your code output. That would need to be solved as well (even if in a pretty basic fashion). The good news is that this will be a lot easier with QML2 (which is out of scope for this proposal, but still interesting: http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2012/03/01/debugging-qt-quick-2-console- api/ ). Otherwise, your proposal looks good, well structured and clearly laid out. It might be useful to note priorities for your "problems", to mention in which order you want to tackle them. (It can always happen that an items takes longer than expected, in which case you should have a clear strategy of clearing that time.) For example, some of the refactoring tasks are surely nice-to-have, but don't contribute immediately to the goals of making it release-ready / immediately useful. I'd personally move those to the end of the list. I'd be happy to mentor you, btw. :) Cheers, -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
