There are limitations to the current implementation that, to be overcome, would require more than a fix but a significant reworking. We made an early bet on Jolie, for instance, and that simply never emerged as expected. It relies on polling of remote DataEngines when really the remote DataEngines should push. Negotiation of sharing is limited (what happens when you leave a network? Can you disconnect individual accesses?). Making all concurrent actions appear on all instances relies on the extensive use of Services which has not happened in most plasmoids. etc.. It's a very interesting and potentially useful feature, but the first draft fails in fairly unfixable ways to follow through on the promise. My thinking on this is that we ought to wait until we have a very compelling use case (Plasma Media Center controls is one such thing imho) and then build something using the lessons learned in libplasma1. -- Aaron J.
