Sorry for not replying earlier. I was quite busy the last days. Very nice 
ideas for stage. I would like to update the plama one a bit to make it a 
remote presenter tool using plasma and maybe other things. The idea here is to 
have an application that can remote control(via dbus) a differenent computer 
running stage.  This could for example run on a n900. When doing it right a 
lib for the remote stuff can be created and on top of the it should be possible 
to easily create new UI where plasma would be one.

I really  like the prezi stuff but I'm not sure how compatible that would be 
with odf (saving/loading). I think most work in this regard is using svg for 
the data and a webbrowser to show it. Maybe a way to create such a 
presentation and save it the svg the same as some other tools use would be 
perfect.

I can be added as mentor for the tasks.

What do you think?
