*looks in kdebase/workspace/plasma/dataengines* We've got: * applicationjobs - shows KIO Jobs * dict - looks up definitions for words using an online dictionary * executable - runs a program and gives you access to the stdout, stderr and exit status * favicons - gets the favicon (the one that appears on the left of the address bar in browsers) for a website * filebrowser - gets the contents of a folder, and monitors it for changes * hotplug - monitors device additions and removals * mouse - gets mouse co-ordinates * network - gets information on network interfaces and connectivity * notifications - access to the KDE notification system * nowplaying - information about running media players * places - Places are the folders shortcuts displayed on the left of file dialogs and in Dolphin * powermanagement - does what it says on the tin * rss - access to RSS feeds * soliddevice - more low-level access to hardware than hotplug (I think) * systemmonitor - CPU usage, memory usage etc. * tasks - currently running tasks (a la the taskbar) * time - date & time, supports multiple timezones * weather - gets weather information from online sources kdeplasma-addons also has the comic and twitter engines. Generally useful engines will probably be included in kdebase, or maybe kdeplasma-addons. For example, I could see that an email monitoring engine and an address book engine (based on Akonadi) would probably merit inclusion in kdebase (providing the kdepimlibs dependency wasn't an issue).
