FHS plugin for Konqueror?

[Jon Clausen]

Hi

Please excuse me if it is in any way improper of me to post to this
list.

I was looking at http://www.konqueror.org/developers.html but couldn't
decide who to contact with this suggestion, so I ended up going for the
list.

I've been developing a motor-control app for LEAF/Bering. In the
course of that process I had to look up places for where to put which
files, in accordance with the FHS, pretty extensively.

Now, at some point it came to me, that it would be nice if I could
'preview' the FHS in Konqueror, and navigate around in it using the tree
view in the navigation panel.

I've been googling around a bit to see if there was anything like that
available already, but I haven't been able to find anything that
fits the bill. So I'm wondering if I have actually come up with an
original idea? ;)

>From a usage point of view, what I'm proposing is really very simple:

With kfm open at some location in the filesystem, at the click of a
buttom in the toolbar:

Either; the panel showing the contents of that location changes to an
html page with the FHS specification for that location,

or; A new panel opens up with that information.

and that upon subsequent navigation around in the filesystem,the
'FHS-description' should follow.

(I hope the above description is clear?)

I have no idea about the complexity of implementing this thing, but I
have a 'hunch' that it really shouldn't be all that difficult (?)

I do, however, have a feeling that such a feature could be of great use,
and that it could potentially:

Help Linux-newbies to faster and more easily getting acquainted with the
purpose/use of the various parts, as well as the general structure of the 
filesystem,

Help aspiring programmers (such as myself) to better understand where to
put stuff.

As dearly as I would love to go ahead and build this myself, I have to
admit that I have neither the programming skills nor the ressources to
complete it anytime soon... (this century f.x.)

And so I put it to you:

If any of you should find this worth pursuing I'd be delighted. I'm ready
to help in any way I can, but as I said I'm not very skilled in the art
of C, so I kind of doubt there is much I can do :(

Thanks for your time and,

Kind regards
