This is the list we use for coordination of the development, if you want to 
report a wish item, i suggest you to report them to bugs.kde.org where it is 
easier to keep track of them.

On the other hand if you know how to develop you might be interested to 
develop this features yourself :-)

Cheers,
  Albert
