i think the division of labour as you outlined makes perfect sense. making it a plasmoid (or two ..) would be brilliant. but you'd expect me to say that, right? :) whether to make it a dataengine or a dbus service living in kded (or wherever) probably comes down to whether or not there is a hard requirement on there being only _one_ place where this data is collected. until we have Out-of-process (OOP) DataEngines (which is planned, and might even come in libplasma2), DataEngines are in-process, which means a DataEngine would need to collect the data itself and that would be replicated in each process that uses that. with OOP DataEngines this becomes a non-issue. -- Aaron J.
