One thing we'd like is to make the addons easy to download and build. The idea
is to use something similar to (if not the actual) KDE Get Hot New Stuff inside
Qt Creator and build the code. Then the addon is ready to be used in your
application and will deployed with it for your target platform -- if the addon
isn't part of that platform already.
For example, one of the five different JSON parsers for Qt might be already
deployed on many Linux distributions, as it is today on MeeGo. So an
application that uses that parser would bundle it for a Windows and Mac build,
but would use dynamic linking for Linux (including MeeGo).
With the usual warnings "you're going to run untrusted, third party code, you
should know what you're doing!", of course.
