I disagree with starting any sort of slot (private or not) with "slot". We can 
look at the declaration of the function and know that it's a slot. 

Nested classes called Private should be removed, IMHO. I think it's ok to use 
them, but we should try to avoid things that are mostly a matter of personal 
preference or style.

Flags section is good.

We should really call this document a set of recommended guidelines rather 
than conventions (purely talking about the text in the file). Respecting the 
guidelines should be important but should not be made mandatory.

Thiago covered everything else I wanted to say, although I disagree about the 
"all getters should be const" part

Nice document, please fix the typos and grammar. If you'd like, I can do that 
before we put it on developer.kde.org

Thanks
