I really like the idea, good job:), my reservation is still that I think it 
should try really hard to have plugins scripted whenever possible, as 
webservice tend to be very api instable and change quickly (so updates out of 
order on things like get hot new stuff would be possible) plus it becomes easy 
having contributions for them, like the comic applet.

but i don't think scripted plugins can be added as an aftertought as the 
structure of the framework may be influenced by that (yeah, i know, 
dependencies, but my wet dream is to have those sharing scripts findable of 
ghns/kdelook and installable with kpackage)
