well .. kind of neither =) it's going to be all about making widgets and dataengines in dynamic (aka "not c++") languages. UI design will obviously be a part of it, but not the whole thing. the idea is to make a very small and highly workfow optimized "IDE" for plasmoid creation and publishing. a killer feature will be seamless integration with git and online git repositories, completely replacing "save" and "save as" to disk concepts with "save points" will be handled behind the scenes as commits. it should also be easy to browse the online catalog right in the app and say "ooh, i'd like to start modifying that one" and have it create a git branch immediately and transparently. "publish" will push it to a remote hosting service, and .plasmoid files can be automatically generated on that service (zipping up git checkouts =) obviously the Package based treeview, live preview of the widget, built in documentation, etc.. will all be nice as well. ;) i'm not looking to recreate kate or kdevelop, either. obviously it will use as many of the kde components available as possible (katepart for editting scripts, e.g.) and the UI itself *must* be kept simple and streamlined because it *must* be something someone can open and start working with immediately. > If it is about UI, just wanted to remind you of PUCK (Plasma UI Compiler) > that I've developed for L. At the moment, it supports yes, i do plan to look at this at some point. -- Aaron J.
