It looks like you're using screen-scraping to grab the url which isn't-
A) future proof (what if they change their site design?) and
B) wastes their bandwidth (perhaps marginal, but still a waste). 

They prefer you to use the api which returns a small amount of plaintext where 
you just need to take the final line and that's your URL. I've done this for 
the Konversation tinyurl shell script found here:

Re: GSoC on Porting Plasmoids to QML

[Travis McHenry]

Hey, I'm one of the people who emailed Marco about this project and didn't
reply right away lol. >_< If you want to take this project that's fine with
me though, it looks like there's plenty of other projects to choose from.
But if you find that it's not something you'd like to do I'd be more than
willing to take it up! haha.

I did spend a little time digging into this though so I'll share my ideas on
it in case they're helpful.

I think the first thing to do is to look through the
kdeexamples/plasma/declarative/ directory and look at how those widgets are
made, make some improvements that seem fun and useful and get a good feel
for it.

One thing I noticed is a weird quirk in the
kdeexamples/plasma/declarative/nowplaying widget where when amarok is
playing and you press the pause button the button will get switched around
so it has the play button when it's already playing and won't pause.

So if you want to learn some QML and maybe a bit about the dataengines in
plasma debugging that would probably be a good place to start. ;)

Also, I think one thing that needs clarification is if the project is to
port the widgets completely to QML or for the ones that have some C++ should
the goal be to port them to use DeclarativeWidgets.

Good luck! :)
Travis.

GSOC 2011 QMLify widgets or something

[Travis McHenry]

Hey, I'm interested in the GSOC project for porting some plasma widgets to
QML.

I've done some work for Konversation over the past couple years (helping
port to qt4, redoing the channel list window, redoing encryption etc.) so
I'm well versed in Qt/C++ but not so much in QML. I was thinking to get
started I'd try my hand at making a google calendar widget (not just using a
webview) that supports agenda and task creation/completion in QML. The plus
side is that I actually want to have this widget so it's good motivation
lol. The downside is I've since learned there's no tasks api yet and gtasks
(android app) does this via 'magic' lol.

I'm new to the whole GSOC process so I'm hopin to get a lot of feedback.
Someone else already made  a thread about the QMLify widgets idea so I
figured I'd list some other ideas I might be interested in to get some
feedback on them.

1) Plasma media center first release
Would this be just finishing up the project? I think this has been a GSOC
project before so I'm not sure how much work remains to be done. In other
words, I don't know if the level of work left to do would be enough to
warrant a GSOC project.

2) Spread activities to applications
I'm not sure I understand what the ultimate goal is in this one...like what
are the use cases for the finished product? Would it be basically making
applications have per-activity configurations? Like in konversation you'd
have tabs A B and C open up in activity 1 and in activity 2 you'd have D E
and F open?

Thanks,
Travis.

Gotcha, I didn't know we could make more than one proposal so I'll probably
make a few. :)

Thanks,

Re: GSOC 2011 QMLify widgets or something

[Travis McHenry]

I'm not sure Kopete is a good target, it hasn't had a new release in a long
long time, but the general idea is good (QML'ifying some interfaces).

For example there's the project idea (under phonon) for making a QML kmix
widget to replace the current application.

I'm sure there's lots of other things that can be QML'ified (and
widgetified) besides the current widgets.

D8267: Correcting symlinks between col- and row-resize and split_v and _hBug 384864

  I believe this is correct. I'm seeing the wrong names in 
`cursors/src/symlinks/col-resize` and `cursors/src/symlinks/row-resize` as 
well. These two files should also be fixed.
