I agree, we definetely need descriptions...

I now finally found some time to make an SVG template 
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61856678/plasma-active/active-template.png

(though you’ll need Inkscape to view the SVG, browsers display only the 
visible page; Karbon should also work but with some glitches).

Creating diagrams with this basic set in place should be much easier now; two 
examples are below:

Please note that some fine tuning is still needed (e.g. colors, spacings, 
icons. etc.), I'm doing this while still learning Inkscape (if I have to learn 
it then I better go and make something useful;-) 

Best regards,
