I think we are overreaching ourselves at this point, and I agree with 
Sankarshan that such stuff already exists.

Right now, I suggest we go into "walk before run" mode, and concentrate 
on getting toes wet, developing small and useful applets, getting them out 
there, then, once people are comnfortable with the process, take a bite 
out of what's already out there, contribute, document, test, etc.

As Karunakar has correctly pointed out, a lot of Localization has already 
been happening for KDE, largely by the IndLinux project. If people can 
help with that, then we are already making progress. But for those of us 
who would like to see KDE become more usablem I think we should look at 
projects that need help, or even (gasp!) innovate and come up with new 
stuff.

I'd *love* to see a Wifi manager that works like Networkmanager in Gnome, 
for example, something that "Simply Works(tm)". Or a worldtime clock that 
actually tells the time in confgurable cities. Or filedialogs that work 
with firefox. Or a school timetable management system. Or....

You get the idea. :)

There are a zillion unaddressed apps out there that could do with some KDE 
love. And this is where KDE.in can contribute a lot.

Am I making sense?
