Yes, there is already a start here:
http://community.kde.org/Alkimia/Usecases

Moreover, we have some code in a directory called alkdbus in playground/office 
Is somebody actively interested in it? I did some trivial patches to it, is it 
ok to commit or want somebody to review?

Moreover, I have some more remarks or comments, mainly to experienced devs 
here:
- in playground there is also the alkquotes project, which seems to  be in a 
proper state in terms of code. Is it working for you? Is somebody active on 
it? If its ok so far, wouldn't it be good to move it to the extragear alkimia 
and try to provide a simple little plasmoid, which would make the existance of 
Alkimia a little visible? Can somebody estimate how much work that would be?

- Just for my understanding as a dbus novice, the new service for transactions 
(lets call it alktrans for now until somebody can come up with a better name) 
would start as project similar and parallel to alkquotes, right? It would not 
be integrated in alkquotes?! 
Given that, how can we share code useful for alkquotes and alktrans, for 
example the storagemanager from alkquotes?

- On the wiki page, it says Alkimia should be limited to Qt. I do not really 
like the idea, as KDE provides us many useful stuff and we are KDE ;-)
Do we need to keep that up?
 
I think these are questions enough for the moment :-) 

I am happy to see activity here, thanks Alvaro for your constant energy and 
great to have you, Puneet on board.

Either or on this list or in IRC on freenode with nickname dragotin on 
weekdays, not so much in  the weekends.

have fun,

Klaas
