Would it be possible to integrate this system with the GetHotNewStuff system? If I remember correctly, that is set up to allow for a central server that shows versions of files and everything so that the end user can see, in a list, what is already installed on their system, what is installed on their system and could be updated, and what is not installed on their system at all.

Of course, I haven't particularly used GHNS of Klik, so I wouldn't have any idea what I'm talking about, but I much prefer the idea of Klik if it makes not only installing, but also updating as easy as clicking a button. Also, I'm always a fan of reusing technologies, so...

I think it's a good idea, and i've used both :D

yeah, i think it should work. maybe this is the solution to the problem of c++ applets/plasmoids... and to the problem of installing kde applications. I think, and some others do so to, kde itself should be smaller, and the additional applications should be installable easilly. if possible with an KDE interface.
