More unittests would definitely be very useful. I know that Plasma is lacking 
n that area, there are some unittest, but definitely no great coverage.

The kdelibs cleanup Epic still has some open todos, this is the current focus 
for work on frameworks.

In Plasma, we're currently at a stage where things start to work, but are 
lacking in many areas. You could have a look at that by trying to set it up as 
your desktop, that way you'll likely already come across many things that 
you'll find lacking. There's your almost endless stream of inspiration what to 
do. ;) Before you begin on a task, check with us on IRC to coordinate, then 
get cracking. :)

Cheers,
