Re: Plasmoids in apps

Hi
having standalone plasmoids has a few problems:
1)every standalone plasmoid needs a maintainer.so we will have the problem of 'unmaintained' plasmoids in future.
2)The process of playgground->kdereview->kdebase-workspace will be there just for little plasmoids.really, plasmoids are little, they are not full applications...
3)hunderds of bugzilla entries just for little plasmoids? reporting those bugs would be confusing...

im not saying all plasmoids 'should' be included in an application.sure, some of them should be standalone.for example minimize/show desktop or analog clocks...but look at current status: the new plasmoids for konqueror/kate/konsole profiles should be included in konqueror, kate and konsole.not kdebase or anywhere else.

about the fact that a little rss reader shouldnt depend on akregator, i must say that third party plasmoids will come for that.but plasmoids that are included in KDE should be intergrated.

Most plasmoids will be available from kde-look, just like styles, superkaramba applets etcetera...
