Hello I'm interesing in joining to GSoC this year. Please tell me what you think about this proposal to Plasmate improvements. I'm the new one in KDE community so please be forgiving :)
Little abstract: "Development and use of plasmoids should be as easy as possible. Making development of plasmoids easier is the best way I bring new plasmoids created by less experienced programmers. I think that simplicity of creating plasmoids bring many new, interesting ones and it will attract others attention to KDE and Linux. This goal can be achieved by creating wizards of simple templates of plasmoids and help programmer with well known problems. There could be also a tool to creating templates, so that more experienced programmers could make templates and include it to plasmate. When less experienced user create some template-based plasmoids it would be easier to him to get involved of creating plasmoids. Templates are well known in IDEs like Eclipse, Netbeans etc. and they are very convenient." Use case: User: 1. "New from template" meni item would open wizard; 2. Wizard contains a list with plasmoid templates with title and short description (maybe little screenshot). 3. User choose template and click "Finish" and has ready to develop basic plasmoid template. Programmer of templates: 1. Programmer create some template of plasmoid (simple plasmoid with not complete functionality, but easy to modify). 2. Programmer clicks "Save as Template". Templates may be uploaded to some repository and downloaded by other people. This is just the beginning of my conception, but I don't know if you like it and if I should develop my idea. Please tell me what do you think about it, and if it's good idea to make a proposal to GSoC with this subproject.
