thanks for the explanations, this helps me understand what you are looking at and for a lot more clearly. to repay your patience, here is my answer to Jos' original question, then: * adding a way to edit non-C++ widgets is dead simple, and something that could be added to the context menus of such widgets very easily. let's call that two day's work: create a QAction in the right place (AppletScript) that is connected to a slot which opens Plasmate to the right location * adding a way to track where a widget came from means storing a bit more metadata with the installed widget; this would be useful in the "upload my special version of this", esp if it can include things such as the remote git repo * extend and solidify the editing process in Plasmate; maybe a month's worth of work there to get it into really amazing shape * better integration with an online storage facility (kde-apps.org perhaps) to catalog these kinds of evolutions, so if i'm viewing FooPlasmoid i can see the 8 variations that add different things to it (not sure how long that would take) * integration with GHNS so that such variations can be grouped and tried out (also not sure on a timeline for this one; probably a couple weeks) so if we do the usual "it always takes longer", let's call it 2-3 months of full time work to have something that is nice and slick. we already have so many of the pieces together, and it would be possible to pull back on the quality of the final product to compress the timeline if needed. -- Aaron J.
