Hi,

There's something I've been thinking about for some time now. (it is and 
isn't related to private activities - but the private activities were the 
reason I started thinking about it)

It is about the ~/Activities directory.

There are a couple of use-cases for applications to have different settings 
for different activities. This becomes even more important with the private 
activities in mind.

Some possible examples - used plasma widgets, stuff written in the notes 
plasmoid, emails, contacts etc. (it would be awesome also if nepomuk could 
separate its database into different files, but ...)

The idea is the following:

Create activity directories in ~/Activities/.data as they are currently, 
but create subfolders as well:
~/Activities/.data/ACTIVITY_UUID/
   .apps      // analogous to .kde/share/apps
   .config  // analogous to .kde/share/config
   .user         // for the user files - this gets linked to
                                     ~/Activities/Activity_Name

Thoughts?

Cheerio.
