On my first mockups, I had a social and youtube tab to show how to extend it, but some peoples said that it was not a good thing for the proposal because I was not going to make it during it. Tabs are plasmoids in activity. Any plasmoid can become an activity and any activity can become a tab in my project. In the future, I (or other) will extend it to do those things, it will be possible and easy to do. Even more than it is right now. I just have to figure out a way to register tab that work great. A systemsettings/desktop preferences dialog seem actually to be the best way, but it have some limitations, like I said in my proposal.<br>
